McMinn Co Detectives Need Your Help to Find a Fugitive Labelled Armed and Dangerous

Athens, Collegedale (WDEF) – The U.S. Marshals service is joining the hunt for 34 year old Shane Albertson.

We told yesterday that police are offering a reward for his capture.

Albertson is wanted in McMinn County, Knoxville and Florida.

They now say he has more than 30 outstanding warrants.

Albertson escaped a chase several weeks ago in Athens, Tennessee.

“With the help of US Marshals, Mr. Albertson was tracked to a residence in Ooltewah,” said Sheriff Guy. “McMinn County Sheriff’s Detectives, US Marshalls, Chattanooga Police Officers, and Hamilton County Sheriff Officers attempted to apprehend Mr. Albertson, but again he fled the area on foot.”

The sheriff now says Albertson is a member of a white supremacy group.
