The Manhunt is on for ALEX ROSS

ROSS is wanted for the OFFENSE of:

POSSESSION OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE  (COCAINE) -  $10,000 BOND

EL PASO, TX  JULY 2009-  On Friday 07-31-09 at 3:15 AM, Sheriff’s Deputies drove into the parking of a service station in the 1100 block of Joe Battle when they observed a male and female arguing next to their vehicle. Upon making contact with the couple, Deputies noticed two other individuals sitting inside the vehicle where a strong smell of marijuana was emitting from the car. Deputies sought & obtained consent to search the vehicle from the car owner ALEX ROSS. Deputies discovered crack cocaine in the glove compartment of the vehicle & a small baggy of marijuana in the rear seats where the said couple was sitting prior to exiting the vehicle. All four persons were arrested for charges ranging from POSSESSION OF MARIJUANA, POSSESSION OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, & FAILURE TO IDENTIFY. All subjects were transported to the Montana Patrol Station for processing. During his time in custody, ROSS claimed to be feeling ill & was transported to the hospital which prevented him from being booked at the El Paso County Detention Facility.

Shortly after, Deputies worked up an arrest warrant for ROSS and have been unsuccessful locating him the past couple of weeks.

ROSS knows he is wanted & continues to elude capture. ROSS remains in the borderland hiding from authorities. ROSS shows a previous arrest for POSSESSION OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE (COCAINE) just this past April 2009.

Sheriff’s Officials are asking the Public if anyone has seen or knows the whereabouts of ALEX ROSS they are urged to call Crime Stoppers of El Paso at 566-TIPS (8477). Callers will remain anonymous & may be eligible for a reward if the information provided leads to the apprehension of the individuals featured.
