U.S. Marshals, Ardmore Police Department search for fugitive

ARDMORE, Okla. (KFOR) - The Ardmore Police Department says it is working with the U.S. Marshals to locate a man with outstanding warrants.

According to officials, 37-year-old Jason Javon Franklin is wanted for violating the Mary Rippy Violent Crime Registration Act in connection to a 2006 Shooting with Intent to Kill conviction.

"We have attempted to resolve Mr. Franklin's outstanding arrest warrants privately by locating him at his registered address; however, he continues to disregard the law," said Ardmore Police Department's Captain C. Henry. "Therefore, we are publicly calling for Mr. Franklin to turn himself in."

Franklin is described as a 5'7", 165lbs Black man with brown eyes and a bald or shaved head. He is known to be in the Ardmore and Oklahoma City areas.

Officials say Franklin should be considered armed and dangerous.
