Butler County, OH – The Butler County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Thursday that the individual seen in a recently released security image has been identified after widespread public assistance.
According to the department, community tips helped deputies confirm the person’s identity following an appeal earlier this week. The photo, which showed a man wearing a brown hoodie, spread quickly across social media before officials updated the case status.
In a statement, the sheriff’s office thanked residents for their involvement and reaffirmed the importance of community participation. “Reaching out to the community is one of the many tools we use, just like fingerprints or DNA,” officials said. “Public assistance is a valuable and effective way to help locate individuals wanted by law enforcement.”
No additional details have been released about the ongoing police investigation, and authorities have not disclosed whether charges will be filed. Deputies said updates will be provided as new information becomes available.
Residents can continue to submit anonymous tips through the sheriff’s office website or the county Crime Stoppers hotline.
