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. Franado Brown was due in court on charges of using fake money that he bought off Amazon at Cape Coral businesses. He never showed up for court and also violated probation related to three other drug cases. He previously did time for drug trafficking and weapons charges. Look for him in downtown Cape Coral. John Edward Driver could be laying low in the Golden Gate City or East Naples area. He violated probation for dealing in stolen property, providing false information to a pawn broker and contracting without a license. He has a history of theft in Collier and a criminal history in North Carolina. Nicole Waynee also violated probation and has two warrants out for her arrest. Lee County court records say they stem from her taking a friend’s credit cards, checkbook, social security card and birth certificate. She has several tattoos, including an alien and a diamond on her chest, a dollar sign on her left hand and a spaceship on her right arm.
