Police using billboards

TUPELO, Miss. (AP) - Tupelo police will place the pictures of the city's fugitives on digital billboards in four locations, hoping to get the public's help in tracking them down.

Head of Detectives Capt. Chuck Bunn tells the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal that the billboard space was donated by Lamar and Transport Trailer, owners of the digital signs.

Police say the faces of fugitives will remain on the billboards until they are caught. The faces of those caught will be replaced with news ones.

Police are still looking for Rogelio Sanchez Roman, charged with sexual battery in 2008; and Adam Harris, Lavontay Harris, Justin L. Williams and Tamika M. Holmes, each charged with burglary and larceny.
