Most Wanted Newspaper

MANSFIELD: Samantha Kegley is getting to be a regular in the News Journal.

Kegley, 23, is being featured as one of the area’s Most Wanted for a fourth time.

“Absconding supervision is her MO (modus operandi),” Ohio Adult Parole Supervisor John Mayer said.

Kegley’s most recent conviction was for failure to appear on a personal recognizance bond. She signed up for terms of her supervision but never reported to her probation officer.
“She makes it hard on herself,” Mayer said.

Kegley is 5 feet, 6 inches and 128 pounds. She has blonde hair and blue eyes.

Authorities also are looking for Robert Blevins and Patrick Thompson. Blevins, 29, was released from prison in July and placed in re-entry court, an intensive program for felony offenders who have been in prison.

“He gets out and does well for awhile; then he stops reporting to his probation officer,” Mayer said.

Blevins is 5 feet, 10 inches and 179 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes. Mayer said Blevins has ties to the area. Thompson, 29, has been on probation since 2006. He had his probation transferred to Galion, where he lives.

“He got in some trouble in April 2007 but was continued on supervision,” Mayer said.

Thompson is 5 feet, 9 inches and 230 pounds. He has brown hair and green eyes.

Anyone with information on these three fugitives is asked to call Tim Barre for Kegley, Bruce Woodson for Blevins and Kip Van Tilburg for Thompson. The number for all three is 419-522-2441.
