Roscoe Tanner skips again

After he was served with a court order finding him in contempt of a Georgia court in May, 2010, Roscoe Tanner skipped from his home in Florida, hiding out in the area of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts at the home of a friend.

He was tracked there the last week of June, 2010, and the authorities were notified, but while they were enroute, he skipped again, this time surfacing in Tiftonia, Tennessee, where a former fan spotted him on a boat in the Tennessee River Saturday July 4 near Brown's Ferry Marina.

The fan called in a tip to our Tanner Tracker Hotline, the sighting was verified by a law enforcement source in the area, and again the authorities were sent to pick him up, but as is his tendency, Tanner went into hiding again.

Anyone who spots this habitual fugitive is asked to call the Tanner Tracker Hotline at 202-684-8201 anytime 24/7. Your name and number will be kept confidential, or you can call in the tip anonymously if you prefer.

Roscoe Tanner has been on the wanted list in various jurisdictions portions of eight of the past ten years, and is nearly constantly on the run. This time he is wanted by the Sheriff in Dade County, Georgia. His bond is set by the court at $750,000.00 which is indicative of the seriousness of the crime he committed by refusing to appear before that court as ordered repeatedly over the years.

It is time for any good citizen who spots him to help the authorities serve this latest warrant on him. He is said to have recently purchased a new house and a new vehicle. He has traveled over three thousand miles so far during his latest effort to evade arrest, and is apparently on the run again.

Your cooperation is requested if you see him. Simply call 202-684-8201 and provide verifiable information where you saw him (name or address of residence or hotel he is hiding out at, description and tag number of the vehicle he is driving, name of airport/airline/flight number you see him at, name of tennis club he is playing at, etc.
