Muskingum County, OH – Authorities in central Ohio are asking for the public’s help locating a man listed on the Muskingum County Sheriff’s Office Most Wanted list, as investigators continue searching for him following a felony indictment.
According to the Muskingum County Sheriff’s Office, Jonathon P. Johnson, 40, is currently wanted in connection with a felony indictment involving two counts of theft. Deputies say Johnson’s whereabouts are unknown at this time.
Sheriff’s officials released identifying information this week in hopes that someone may recognize him or provide a tip that could lead to an arrest. Johnson is described as 6 feet 1 inch tall, weighing approximately 190 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. Authorities also note that he has multiple tattoos on his abdomen and both arms, as well as a scar on his forehead.
According to the sheriff’s office, Johnson’s last known address was on Lakegrove Court in Westerville, located in Franklin County, within the Columbus metro area. Investigators caution that this address may no longer be current.
The sheriff’s office emphasized that Johnson is wanted based on an indictment, and the charges are allegations, not a conviction. Officials stress that he should not be approached by the public.
Anyone who knows Johnson’s whereabouts or has information that could assist law enforcement is urged to contact their local police agency or the Muskingum County Sheriff’s Office at 740-452-3637, extension 1. Tips can be submitted anonymously.
Residents are encouraged to remain alert and report any credible information to authorities.
