Lawrence County’s Most WANTED

Published 10:44 am Monday, December 16, 2013

 

A South Point woman learned you can’t hide from the Adult Probation Agency forever — especially in a closet.

APA Chief Carl Bowen II said Tiffany Whitley, one of Lawrence County’s Most Wanted probation violators, was arrested at a home in South Point last week.

Bowen said since the 32-year-old woman’s appearance on the Most Wanted list on Dec. 9, the agency has received numerous tips by phone and even one in person at the probation office.

Officers from the APA and a sheriff’s deputy followed up on a tip that pinpointed Whitley at a home in South Point, but the owner of the home said the woman wasn’t there. That’s when the deputy heard a noise coming from upstairs.

“He (the deputy) heard something and preceded upstairs,” Bowen said. “He heard a noise in the bedroom closet and there she was.”

Bowen said the woman admitted she had been notified she had been on the Most Wanted list.
