Lee County Joins in Media Effort to Capture FugitivesG105 has a morning segment called "Bob the Bounty Hunter" on Thursday's at 8:00. Local sheriffs come on the show and give names and information about suspects.
Today the sheriff was Lee County's own Tracy Carter. Listeners in communities have stepped up to call in tips about fugitives after hearing their descriptions on the show. Information about the fugitives is also posted on the show's website. This segment has been credited with helping law enforcement officials get information necessary for the capture of 64 local fugitives.
Show host Bob Dumas welcomed Sheriff Carter and noted that Lee County listeners had frequently requested to have their county included--a request now honored by the new sheriff in town.
"I plan to put this valuable law enforcement asset to work for Lee County on a continuous basis," Sheriff Carter said. Sheriffs from Wake, Johnston, Chatham, Durham, and Franklin counties are also currently participating in the program.

Just another example of Sheriff Carter's change. I hope he keeps it up. Our county needs it.
Public relations.... Something we haven't had in a long time. Glad to have a change
WOW...good to see Sheriff Carter looking outside the box for help in making our community better! He's exactly what our county needs.....
I read where you are looking at the cases of
bullard and Upchurch but what about the Smith girl murder. That killer is still running loose if you believe the jury in that case.Also, where are you going to find the money to fund the 5 or 6 new positions in the
sheriffs dept. Are our taxes going up even further?
that will be a bad change
I wanted to take a moment to address some concerns listed in a recent comment. The first concern has to do with cold cases. I want to assure the citizens of Lee County that the list of cold cases being examined are not limited to those listed in the paper.
The other concern deals with taxes and new positions. There have been no additional positions created in the Sheriff's Office since I took office.
Thanks for writing in. Keep checking back often. I want everyone to feel free to voice their concerns to me, here or in person.
