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. Kenneth Daly, 58, missed school and now he’s violated probation. Daly got his fourth DUI, eventually pled guilty, and got 48 months probation. Part of his sentence included going to court-mandated DUI school, which he skipped. Look for him possibly in the Suncoast area of North Fort Myers. He has a tattoo of the grim reaper on his right arm and the name Cheyenne on his left. Demarcus Kendrick, 27, may be in East Fort Myers. He’s wanted in Lee County on an order revoking pretrial supervision following an arrest for aggravated battery on a pregnant victim. He was released from jail until his next court hearing. Last week he violated the conditions, triggering a new warrant for his arrest. Arielle Lenhart, 35, failed to appear in court on drug charges. When Cape cops pulled Lenhart over they noticed that she appeared overly nervous. After she gave consent to search the car, they found meth and cocaine, all pre-packaged and ready for sale. She spent three months behind bars but got out under the condition she’d show up at her next court hearing. She missed it last week. She has a panther on her left forearm, music notes and a frog on her right arm and letters JSM on her neck. If you have a tip on the whereabouts of any of these wanted suspects, contact Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers. All callers will remain anonymous and will be eligible for a cash reward of up to $3,000. Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers1-800-780-TIPS (8477) orsouthwestfloridacrimestoppers.com
