Look who's reading the paper!
An e-mail from the city of Greensboro about the arrest of one of "Guilford County's Most Wanted":
Alamance County Sheriff's Department received information that Quinton Lamar Johnson was staying with a cousin in their jurisdiction. Deputies responded out to the address provided and Quinton was taken into custody. Greensboro Warrant Squad officers traveled to Alamance County on 12/09/08 to take custody of Quinton and transport him to the Guilford County Magistrate's Office for service of his papers.
Quinton informed the warrant squad officers that he went to Alamance County after being featured in Guilford County's Most Wanted in the Greensboro News & Record. Quinton Johnson is currently being held in the Greensboro Jail under a $100,000.00 secured bond.
Who knew that criminal suspects on the lam were newspaper readers?
By the way, he's the 66th suspect featured in the paper to have been caught since February.

Of course criminals read the papers, John. How do you think we got to this point (click)?
I think it's a great service to the community what you're doing with the "Most Wanted" series. I hope you have plans to expand it.

Everybody who's anybody in the Triad criminal world reads the N&R. And why not? With stuff like; exciting up-to-the-minute coverage of which criminal group Uncle Nelson is promoting this week and how he can maybe help their group, and hard -hitting articles smearing selected law enforcement personell who may be doing their job "too well" facilitating their canning by the town manager, all in one handy place.
