Alyssa Bostwick, Norval Bryce, Ronnie Rei This weekly WINK News segment features fugitives from justice right here in Southwest Florida. This is your chance to help out the community and give the tip that gets these people off the street. These suspects need to be found – and you can help. If you have seen them, reach out to Crime Stoppers or your local law enforcement. Call 1-800-780-TIPS (8477). Here are three fugitives wanted by Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers. Alyssa Bostwick Alyssa Bostwick (DOB 8/3/94) – wanted in Lee County for violation of drug offender probation for two counts of the sale and delivery of narcotics and two counts of the possession of a controlled substance. To date, she’s been arrested six times for multiple counts of dealing the highly addictive meth and fentanyl on the streets of Southwest Florida, as well as resisting and probation violations. Her history shows most of her narcotics activity to be in the south part of Lee County, as well as central Fort Myers. She is 5’0”, 100 pounds and has quite a few tattoos, to include the Hello Kitty cartoon character on her left arm, a half moon on her right ear, three dots inked on her face and a half sleeve on her right arm with a carnival theme. Upon her arrest, she will be held without bond. Norval Bryce Norval Bryce (DOB 2/6/87) – wanted in Lee County on an original charge of battery/domestic violence, tampering with a witness and two counts of child abuse. He was just added to Crime Stoppers 10 Most Wanted list last week. The female victim in this case said she was on the phone when Norval grabbed her by the neck, body-slammed her to the ground and took her phone. When she screamed for her young female daughter to call 911, Norval grabbed the girl so violent that it caused her skin to rip open. He then turned to a teenage male in the house and struck him in the face and then bit him in the back. Norval took off before deputies could arrive and has been on the run for a few months now. He was last known to be staying in Lehigh. Norval has a history of violence towards women, as documented in another incident where he grabbed a female by the neck and then struck her with a metal vase. He is 6’3”, 165 pounds and is known to his friends as “Steve.” Ronnie Rei Ronnie Reis (DOB 5/3/79) – wanted in Lee County for violation of probation on a child neglect charge. A passer-by called 911 when they found Reis slumped over the wheel in a vehicle that was still running. Deputies found two baggies of narcotics in the vehicle that he was driving, while caring for two young children who were in the backseat of the car while he was ingesting the drugs. Reis is a repeat offender with 14 bookings under his belt on charges of DUI, drugs, battery/domestic violence, the sale and delivery of cocaine and contempt. He is 5’11”, 185 pounds and was last known to be living in Southwest Cape Coral. And upon his arrest, he will be held without bond.
