Here are three fugitives wanted by Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers.

Steven Bell (DOB 1/3/82) – wanted in Collier County for possession of a controlled substance, a bench warrant for failure to appear on charges of the possession and use of drug paraphernalia, and failure to pay child support.

Over the years, he has been booked three times on 24 charges of burglary, grand theft, dealing in stolen property, petit theft, defrauding a pawnbroker, the sale and possession of opium, the possession of a controlled substance, the possession of a synthetic narcotic and felony battery, among other charges.

Although his most recent address is in Golden Gate Estates, he may be staying in the East Naples area, where he could be working under the table as a tile setter, carpenter or general laborer. He is 5’7”, 150 pounds with numerous tattoos on his left arm and back.

Fuquon Butler (DOB 9/28/89) – wanted in Lee County for violation of probation for burglary and grand theft. This fugitive has left a criminal footprint all over Florida, Kentucky, North Carolina, and South Carolina. In Florida, he’s been jailed in Broward, Manatee, Pinellas, and Pasco counties for a long list of burglaries.

In Southwest Florida alone, he was previously arrested on two dozen charges relating to burglary and grand theft, which ultimately landed him in prison three times. He’s only been a free man for a year, having been released on the conditions of probation, which he has been unable to adhere to.

He is 5’9”, 200 pounds and could be moving around South Florida in order to avoid his next arrest. But when he is tracked down, Butler will be held without bond.

Brandon Chaleunsouk (DOB 1/28/95) – wanted in Lee County on a bench warrant for failure to appear on charges of the possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and assault.

This latest charge stems from an incident where the victim said he was at a nightclub in the early morning hours when Chalensouk instigated a fight and unsuccessfully tried to punch the man.

He then retreated to his car and retrieved a gun, which was witnessed by an off-duty officer. Cape Coral police arrived on the scene before the situation escalated to further violence, and escorted the 27-year-old to jail.

Chaleunsouk failed to show up for a court hearing two weeks ago. To date, he has six bookings under his belt for charges of grand theft, the illegal use of credit cards, drugs, resisting and disturbing the peace.

He is 5’11”, 195 pounds with a tattoo of praying hands and Buddha on his right arm and a joker with skulls on his left arm. And upon his arrest, Chalensouk will be held without bond.
