Athens County, Ohio – The Athens County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s help locating two men wanted on active felony probation violation warrants this week.
According to the Athens County Sheriff’s Office, Andrew Haning and Colt Neiderhiser were listed in the agency’s “Warrants of the Week” alert for the week of Feb. 9.
Haning is wanted for alleged probation violations tied to multiple felony charges, including domestic violence (F4) – two counts, possession of drugs (F5), vandalism (F5), and obstructing official business (F5). Deputies said the warrant stems from violations of court-ordered probation conditions related to those cases.
Neiderhiser is wanted for an alleged probation violation connected to a felony possession of drugs (F5) charge, according to the sheriff’s office.
Both men are considered wanted subjects, and deputies said they are actively attempting to locate them. Authorities emphasized that individuals should not attempt to approach or detain the suspects themselves.
The sheriff’s office is asking anyone with information that could lead to the arrest of either individual to contact authorities at 740-593-6633. Tips may also be submitted through the sheriff’s office mobile app. Callers may be eligible for a reward, and information can be provided confidentially.
Probation violation warrants are typically issued when a court determines that an individual has allegedly failed to comply with conditions such as court appearances, treatment requirements, or restrictions related to prior felony cases.
The alert may be of particular relevance to local residents, students, and commuters, as deputies regularly execute warrants across Athens County, including near residential areas and public roadways.
All suspects are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
