In a social media initiative to bring wanted individuals to justice, Monroe County Sheriff Tommy Jones has taken to Facebook with a new post spotlighting Daniel Richard Mullins, a man facing severe charges. The Facebook post, which hit the Sheriff's page on Tuesday, reveals Mullins as wanted for an indictment by the Monroe County Criminal Court. He is charged with aggravated statutory rape and soliciting a minor, serious allegations that have led to law enforcement actively seeking his whereabouts, a campaign they have branded as "WANTED WEDNESDAY."

Descriptions of Mullins have been publicly disseminated in the hope that community members might aid in his capture. He is identified as a Caucasian male, standing at 6'02" and weighing around 200 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. The call to action is clear: anyone with information on Daniel Mullins is urged to get in touch with their local law enforcement. In an appeal directly to the suspect, Sheriff Jones adds, "Daniel, if you see this, turn yourself in to your local law enforcement." The entreaty underscores a desire to swiftly, and perhaps peacefully, resolve the situation.
