Another of Lawrence County’s Most Wanted probation violators was apprehended last week in an ongoing effort to send a message that not reporting to the Adult Probation Agency will not go unpunished.

Joshua Harless, 30, was arrested Monday, Dec. 16, the day his photo appeared on the Most Wanted list.

APA Chief Carl Bowen II said his office, as well as the Proctorville Police Department, received a tip on the man’s location.

Bowen said the two agencies, as well as deputies from the sheriff’s office followed up on the leads after Monday’s Shop with a Cop event.

Harless was found at a home in Burlington.

Sgt. Randy Thompson with Proctorville PD found the man hiding in a closet.

In other Most Wanted news, several offenders who were captured in recent weeks made court appearances Wednesday.

Derrick Bailey, 32, of Columbus, was sentenced to four months in prison by Judge D. Scott Bowling. Bailey surrendered to authorities earlier this month after he made the Most Wanted list.
