Fugitive with gun, fake badges found in Putnam County home
PUTNAM COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) — Authorities executed a search warrant at a Putnam County home early Friday morning and took two people into custody, including a fugitive. The Putnam County Sheriff's Office said its Warrants Division, in coordination with its Narcotics Division and the U.S. Marshals Task Force, executed the warrant on Friday, May 23 at an address along Greenland Avenue as part of an ongoing investigation to find a fugitive who's evaded law enforcement since 2018. Inside the residence, officials said they found and arrested Joshua Kane Love, who was featured in the PCSO's 'Warrant Wednesday' segment in February 2023. Cheatham County deputies arrest wanted man getting out of the shower Authorities also discovered Ashley Green, who 'had been questioned multiple times over the past few years regarding the whereabouts of Love and had denied knowing him,' according to the sheriff's office. However, evidence gathered during the search reportedly confirmed Love had been living at the home with Green. Officials said Love was taken into custody on outstanding warrants for aggravated burglary, two counts of violation of probation (original charge was possession of more than 10 pounds of marijuana), and failure to appear on a felony charge. In addition, Love allegedly had a firearm and decoy law enforcement badges in his possession, so the convicted felon was charged with unlawful carrying or possession of a weapon, as well. Authorities said Love has a bond set at $80,000, but he's being held without bond for his two counts of violation of probation. His court date is set for July 17. ⏩ Meanwhile, Green was arrested and charged with accessory after the fact for harboring a fugitive, according to law enforcement. Her bond was set at $8,000 and her court date is scheduled for June 23. 'This arrest is the result of persistent investigative work and outstanding coordination between our Deputies and our Federal partners,' Putnam County Sheriff Eddie Farris stated. 'No matter how long a bad actor tries to hide, we will continue to pursue justice for the citizens of Putnam County. Our message is clear: if you break the law and run or hide, we will find you.'

Parke County Sheriff speaks on Warrant Wednesday program
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — One local sheriff's department is using the power of social media to help find individuals with active warrants. Parke County Sheriff Jason Frazier says that they have been doing Warrant Wednesday for over two years now. Every Wednesday, the department posts a photo of the person in hopes that the public can provide information that may lead to their arrest. Frazier says that each photograph gets between two and three hundred shares, along with around 100,000 views on each photo. 'I'd say we're at about an 80 percent success rate with it, so I think it's successful,' Frazier says. 'There's many arrests that I'm proud of, we've had many arrests made, people turn themselves in. We even had an individual turn himself in saying he did not want to be featured on Warrant Wednesday, which I thought was amusing.' Posts can be found on their Facebook and Instagram pages.
