NORWICH – The New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force is currently searching for a parole absconder by the name of Devon Jenkins.

The Norwich Police and NY/NJ Fugitive Task Force checked several locations early Wednesday morning within the City of Norwich in an attempt to locate Jenkins.

According to authorities, Jenkins had been in the Department of Corrections and was released early and given conditions to follow, under DOC supervision and parole. Police said he violated these conditions and therefore a warrant for his arrest has been issued. The said warrant was issued by the Department of Corrections.

Jenkins is described as 6 feet tall and 230 pounds.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Jenkins can call either the Norwich Police at 334-2424 or the Task Force at 315-374-0644.

Detective-Sergeant Reuben Roach said, “Do not attempt to take the subject into custody yourself. If you are to come across him, please call the authorities immediately.”
