Have you seen this man?

UPDATE: THEY HAVE BEEN FOUND SAFE

The Newton County Sheriff’s Office is trying to locate Shad Minton. He is a white 45 year old male. Shad is accompanied by his daughter Alissa Minton who is 12 years old. The Sheriff’s Office has reason to be concerned for the girls safety.

Minton was last seen leaving into the woods on foot with Alissa in the Stella area. Deputies spent the entire night searching for the Mintons on foot as well as with drones and a MSHP aircraft. Minton is known to be homeless and frequents the area between Stella and Boulder city. We have information they sometimes hide in caves in the area. Minton has warrants for his arrest but our main concern is the safety of Alissa Minton. If anyone sees these individuals or has information on their location please contact the Newton County Sheriff’s Office.

If you have any information please contact Newton County Sheriff’s office.
