Knoxville police are asking the public to help identify a man photographed in connection with an incident at the North Ridge Crossing public housing community in North Knoxville, and a cash reward of up to $2,000 is on the table for anyone whose tip leads to an arrest. The appeal, posted to Facebook, does not describe what happened or detail any charges, only that officers want to speak with the man pictured about the case.
The bulletin was issued by East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers, the nonprofit that fields anonymous tips on behalf of Knoxville police, and is tied to Knoxville Police Department case number 26-023667. As with all Crime Stoppers appeals, the organization stresses that anyone shown in the post is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law. The post asks the public to share it widely to help track down the man’s identity.
