How the Reward Works
Crime Stoppers is offering up to $2,000 for information leading to Schubert's arrest. Tipsters can contact the organization through its tip channels.
For text tips, message volume may vary and standard message and data rates may apply; Crime Stoppers says users can text HELP for assistance or STOP to end messages, as reported by East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers. The organization describes its tip lines, app and website as anonymous ways to share information, according to East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers.
A Caution on Identity
A separate listing published by The Mountain Press identified a 20-year-old Trey Schubert of Sevierville as charged on March 8 with violation of an order of protection and an order granting bail, held at the time in lieu of $3,500 bond. It is not established whether that individual is the same person named in Friday's Crime Stoppers post, and no connection between the two should be assumed.
Reward rules and past Fugitive Friday activity
East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers says rewards are available only for anonymous tips submitted directly to the organization; it decides whether to pay and sets any reward between zero and $2,000. People who identify themselves or give information to another source are not eligible for a Crime Stoppers reward, according to East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers. The program’s reported results include 118 arrests, 67 warrants, 70 fugitives apprehended and 155 cases cleared with its help from May 5, 2021, through Dec. 31, 2023, according to WBIR. As a separate earlier example of the format, WATE reported on Sept. 17, 2021, that a Fugitive Friday post named six men wanted on serious charges out of East Tennessee.
As with all Crime Stoppers postings, the organization states that all subjects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
