Officials in Bledsoe County, Tenn., continued to search today for an Indiana man sought on child sexual assault charges who had been on the loose since early Tuesday.
Federal officials said today the manhunt in Bledsoe County was not related “in any shape or form” to the U.S. Marshals Service, as was previously reported in other media and elsewhere. The federal agency is helping in the search.
Samual Cravens, 38, has been on the run since last week after he allegedly sexually assaulted a minor, according to police in Fortville, Ind. Cravens is wanted on three felony warrants charging him with child molestation – two counts linked to an incident in Fortville and another count to an incident in outlying Hancock County, according to authorities there.
Cravens is accused of forcing a teen girl to have sex with him, according to The Daily Reporter newspaper in Greenfield, Ind.
