A reward is now on the table for anyone who can help authorities track down Hasan Hill, a 35-year-old man wanted for felonious assault who is known to move between Mansfield and Cleveland. The Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force is leading the search, and investigators say tipsters can stay anonymous if they come forward.
Hill is wanted by the Richland County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Marshals for felonious assault, according to the task force, as reported by Cleveland 19 News. Authorities describe him as 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing approximately 150 pounds. The task force says Hill frequents both the Mansfield and Cleveland areas, suggesting he could be hiding out or moving between the two cities.
How to Report Information on Hill's Whereabouts
Anyone with information on Hill's location is asked to contact the NOVFTF at 1-866-4WANTED, the station's report notes. Tips can also be submitted through a web tip to the U.S. Marshals, and per the same account, tipsters can remain anonymous when they come forward with information.
The United States Marshals Service amplified the search on Facebook, posting that the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force is offering a reward for information about fugitive Hasan Hill.
A Familiar Pattern for the Task Force
This is not the first time the task force has turned to a public reward and tip line to track down a wanted man in the region. A year earlier, the U.S. Marshals offered a reward for the capture of Anthony Williamson, a 40-year-old man wanted for felonious assault in Cleveland who was described as 5 feet 11 inches tall and about 200 pounds, according to Cleveland 19 News's earlier coverage. That case used the same tip line and the same assurance that tipsters could remain anonymous.
The U.S. Marshals Service notes that its task force policies and procedures are not intended to create, and cannot be relied upon to create, substantive or procedural rights enforceable in civil or criminal matters. Authorities have not released further details about the circumstances of the alleged assault tied to Hill's warrant.
