The Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force is offering a reward for information leading to the capture of a man who escaped last month from a community-based corrections center in Akron.
Channing Figler, 28, is wanted by the U.S. Marshals Service and the Summit County Sheriff’s Office for escape.
Authorities said the suspect has been on the run since Sept. 21.
The task force has labeled him as the “Fugitive of the Week.”
Figler is described as a white male about 6-feet-tall and weighing 170 pounds. He has blond hair, which is completely shaved, and blue eyes.
He is believed to be hiding in the Akron area.
He was found guilty in Summit County Common Pleas Court in August for third-degree felony illegal assembly or possession of chemicals for the manufacture of drugs.
Anyone with information about him is asked to contact the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force at 1-866-4WANTED or Text keyword WANTED and tip to 847411. (tip411)
