Scioto County deputies have issued active arrest warrants for a Tennessee man accused in a violent stabbing case SCDN first told you about earlier this month.
Sheriff David Thoroughman said detectives are looking for Rodney White Jr., 22, of Spring Hill, Tennessee.
White is wanted on charges of attempted murder and felonious assault.
The case began Aug. 8, when Scioto County 911 received a call from Wheelersburg Urgent Care about a man who had been brought in with multiple stab wounds.
SCDN previously reported that deputies and emergency crews responded after medical staff reported the victim had been stabbed in the neck.
Because of the severity of the injuries, emergency responders requested a medical helicopter. Fire crews set up a landing zone at Wheelersburg High School, and the victim was flown to an out-of-town hospital.
The sheriff’s office said the victim remains in critical condition.
Deputies determined the victim had been stabbed during an altercation.
Detectives responded to process evidence, review security camera footage, and interview multiple witnesses.
Deputies also went to Dogwood Ridge Apartments, where they taped off a crime scene. Investigators issued a BOLO to surrounding law enforcement agencies for possible suspects, and multiple agencies were updated as deputies worked the case.
The sheriff’s office said detectives have now filed arrest warrants for White.
White is described as an African American man, about 6 feet tall, with longer hair and glasses.
Authorities said he should be considered armed and dangerous.
“This remains an active and ongoing investigation,” Sheriff Thoroughman said. “Additional charges are expected to be presented to the Scioto County Grand Jury at a later date.”
Anyone with information about White’s whereabouts or details about the case is urged to contact Detective Sergeant Jodi Conkel immediately at 740-351-1091.
The charges are allegations. White is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
