MUNCIE, IN — The Delaware County Sheriff’s Department is seeking the public’s assistance in finding a missing suspect.
According to a news release, 50-year-old Joshua Stephen Black fled from deputies near the 1900 block of East Hamilton Drive about 4 a.m. on Tuesday, July 29.
The sheriff’s department was joined in the search by “multiple assisting agencies,” the release said. Drones were deployed in the area, and police K-9s participated in the efforts to find Black.
The Muncie man is described as 6 feet tall, 200 pounds and has brown hair and brown eyes.
He is “presumed to be armed, and has several active warrants,” the release said.
Anyone seeing a man matching Black’s description should not approach him, deputies said. Instead, they should call 911 or the sheriff’s office at 765-747-7878 immediately.
Black has been convicted of crimes including burglary, possession of meth, theft and false informing.
