District Attorney General Danny Goodman’s office for Tennessee’s 29th Judicial District used its latest "Fugitive Friday" post to put the spotlight on 36‑year‑old Jonathan Trouche, who is wanted on an aggravated assault warrant. The alert shares a brief physical description, listing Trouche at about 5‑foot‑9 and 170 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes, and urges anyone with information to call local law enforcement instead of stepping in themselves. Officials included phone numbers and tip lines for both the sheriff’s office and the DA’s office in the notice.
DA Names Suspect and Shares Details
The office’s social media notice identifies Jonathan Trouche by name and states that he faces an aggravated assault charge. According to District Attorney General, 29th Judicial District, the post lists Trouche’s age, height, weight, and hair and eye color, and it asks residents to pass along any tips to authorities rather than trying to confront him. The message supplies specific tip lines and repeats the request that anyone with information contact law enforcement.
Where to Call With Tips
People with information are asked to reach the Dyer County Sheriff’s Office at 731‑285‑2802, a number that appears on the sheriff’s official website, which also maintains a Most Wanted page, according to the Dyer County Sheriff's Office. Officials stress that the public should not approach anyone who might be a wanted person and should instead call trained officers to handle the situation.
District Jurisdiction and Follow-Up
The DA’s office serves Dyer and Lake counties and lists its main contact line, along with periodic public notices such as its "Fugitive Friday" posts that highlight outstanding warrants and wanted individuals, per the District Attorney General, 29th Judicial District. Local news outlets sometimes pick up those alerts when arrests or follow-up information is released, a pattern that helps broaden the reach of tip requests and community warnings.
Legal Context

The offense is defined in TCA §39‑13‑102, and penalties and classifications vary depending on the facts of a case and applicable statutes, according to legal summaries on TNDocket and legislative materials from the Tennessee General Assembly.
