Livingston County authorities arrested three of their “most-wanted” fugitives over the weekend, and the sheriff credits tips from the public for the capture of at least one of them.
In a news release, Sheriff Steve Cox says at least 138 fugitives have been arrested based solely on tips from the Sheriff’s Office Web site.
“At least one of these arrests was due to one or more tips as a result of posting on the LCSO website and social media,” Cox said.
“This does not include the number of persons who have surrendered after learning of their postings. We thank you for all the tipsĀ over the years.”
