Daniel Adkins, Zachary Kenst, Nicole Snyder. 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. Daniel Adkins Daniel Adkins (DOB 9/20/94) – wanted in Lee County for violation of probation – felon/delinquent in possession of a firearm. His current charge stems from an incident where he was in a verbal altercation with a woman, which prompted a response from law enforcement. When officers arrived on scene, they found a gun clearly visible in his waistband, with two magazines in his backpack which, as a convicted felon, he is not allowed to be in possession of. He’s had previous arrests in Henry County, Indiana, for receiving stolen property and resisting arrest. He is 5’8”, 160 pounds and was last known to be living in East Lee County. Adkins has multiple tattoos, including “Only God can judge me” on his left arm, a rebel flag on his right arm, and “I Love Mom” inked on his left hand. Zachary Kenst Zachary Kenst (DOB 9/21/92) – wanted in Lee County for violation of probation on three counts of burglary, two counts of grand theft and one count of the fraudulent use of a credit card. This warrant originates from a series of thefts when Kenst was found guilty of stealing a collection of different items, including power tools, cash, and credit cards, which he used to quickly charge up a multitude of indulgences. His crimes landed him behind bars for eight months, after which he was released on probation, which he has since violated the terms of. To date, he’s been booked four times in the Lee County Jail on 12 different counts of burglary, eight thefts, battery, resisting with violence and the passing of forged instruments. He is 5’9”, 160 pounds and was last known to be living in Southeast Cape Coral. He has a tattoo of a spiderweb with a tombstone on his chest, and a skull with a man holding a gun on his left shoulder. And upon his arrest, he will be held without bond. Nicole Snyder Nicole Snyder (DOB 6/28/85) – wanted in Lee County for violation of community control for two counts of burglary, four counts of trafficking in stolen property and four counts of providing false information to a pawnbroker. This warrant stems from a break-in at one of Snyder’s neighbors’ homes, where she stole expensive jewelry, including two rings worth over $4,000, as well as personal information such as the victims passports, bonds, Social Security cards and birth certificates. Snyder took some of the stolen jewelry and hocked the pieces at a local pawn shop, claiming that the items belonged to her, receiving just $120 bucks each. Detectives were able to trace the transactions right back to Snyder, which landed her in jail for three months. To date, she’s been booked three times… and counting. She is 5’3”, 165 pounds, and was last known to be living in north Cape Coral. She has a tattoo of a star on her left hand and the word “promise” inked on her right hand.
