New poster of PA's 10 'Most Wanted'


The Pennsylvania State Police has issued a new Top 10 "Most Wanted" fugitives poster.

This is the first new wanted poster state police have issued in nearly a decade. I'm not thrilled that three of the 10 most wanted hail from Reading, which is a stone's throw from where I live. (Nine are from eastern Pennsylvania, primarily Reading and Philadelphia.)

The poster contains four new names, according to a press release. Some of the crimes go back a dozen years. All of the "most wanted" criminals are men.

State Police say the poster will be distributed to hundreds of local police departments, businesses, college campuses and post offices.

The poster can be viewed online by clicking the Tip Submission link at www.psp.state.pa.us

You can even download a high resolution copy of the poster to carry around as you hunt down the fugitives. OK, don't do that -- unless your name is Duane "Dog" Chapman and you have a bounty hunter's license.

All of the fugitives are considered armed and dangerous. If you spot any of the state's "most wanted" you should call the Tip Line at 1-888-292-1919.
