East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers has put Angela Williams in the spotlight as this week’s “Fugitive Friday” case, saying she is wanted in connection with a series of thefts that started on Jan. 11. The group reports she is wanted on seven felony theft warrants and is believed to be in the Knoxville area. Their alert includes a vehicle description and last-known location and asks anyone with information to come forward.
According to the East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers’ Facebook post, Williams has a listed birth date of July 21, 1969, is described as about 5-foot-4 and 130 pounds, and was last seen driving a 2007–2010 Hyundai Elantra. The flyer gives a last-known address on McCalla Avenue and notes that the warrants were active as of March 13. Crime Stoppers says the alleged thefts began on January 11 and that details have been passed along to local law enforcement.
How To Report Tips
Crime Stoppers reminds the public that tips can be submitted anonymously, which is part of the draw for the program. Tipsters can text “ETTips” to 738477, use the group’s web tip form, or call the hotline. According to East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers, tips that lead to an arrest may qualify for cash rewards of up to $2,000. The organization operates around the clock through the P3Tips app and web portal. They also stress that callers remain anonymous and that information sent to other sources may not be eligible for reward payments.
What She’s Accused Of
The same Crime Stoppers post states that Williams is wanted on seven felony theft warrants tied to a pattern of alleged crimes that started on Jan. 11. To help the public recognize her, the flyer includes a physical description and vehicle details. These remain allegations, and authorities urge anyone with information to contact law enforcement or Crime Stoppers rather than trying to approach or detain the person themselves.
