The Butler County Sheriff’s Office turned its weekly Warrant Wednesday spotlight on a Cincinnati man this week, asking residents to help track him down. Deputies say he is wanted on a third degree felony DUI warrant and have circulated a photo and physical description to help the public identify him.
Suspect Details And Charges
According to the Butler County Sheriff’s Office, the subject is 30-year-old Brandon Charles Selmon, born Jan. 8, 1996. He is described as about 5-foot-2 and 162 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. The post lists a last known address of 1578 Merideth Drive, Apt. 36 in Cincinnati and states that Selmon is wanted on a felony third degree DUI warrant. The office is asking anyone with information about his whereabouts to contact investigators.
How To Report Tips
The Butler County Sheriff’s Office is steering tipsters to several contact options. People can text the keyword “COPS” to 274637, submit an online form, or call the non-emergency dispatch line at 513-785-1300. For those who prefer to follow up in person, the sheriff’s contact page notes that the office’s headquarters and correctional facility are located at 705 Hanover Street in Hamilton, according to the Butler County Sheriff’s Office.
Warrants Deputy And What The Post Asks
The Butler County Sheriff’s Office post also gives a direct line to the Warrants Division. Warrants Deputy Chase Stewart is listed as the contact at 513-785-1278 for tips tied specifically to this case. The department makes a point of urging residents not to confront or try to detain anyone themselves and instead to pass along what they know to law enforcement. The post notes that anonymous tips are welcome and highlights the text option with the “COPS” keyword as a quick way to report a possible sighting.

Butler County’s weekly Warrant Wednesday push is designed to tap neighborhood knowledge, speed up arrests and cut down on dangerous encounters by getting information out fast on active warrants.
