Crime Stoppers wants to emphasize that we always encourage you to call your local police department with any information about criminal activity or wanted subjects. But if you feel uncomfortable in doing so, please give Crime Stoppers a call. We never ask your name, our phones don't have caller ID and we're going to give that information to local crime agencies so they can do the follow up on your information. Today we're going to show you four individuals who are wanted on warrants that have been issued by the Winnebago County States Attorney's office. If you know their location please take the time to call your local police or call Crime Stoppers. Wayne Fricks is wanted for Strong Armed Robbery. Fricks is 20 years old. He's 5'8", 165 lbs., with black hair and brown eyes. Leroy McFadden is wanted for deceptive practice. McFadden's 32 years old. He's 6'3", 245 lbs., with black hair and brown eyes. Joseph Rice is wanted for Narcotics Violation. Rice is 5'4", 185 lbs, with brown hair and brown eyes. And Shane Dobnick is wanted for forgery. Dobnick's 21 years old, 6'0", 190 lbs., with brown hair and blue eyes. You've heard me tell you in the past that no case is closed until an arrest is made and that information is made available to police. And last week we received information on an armed robbery that took place in Loves Park in 2007. And as a result of that information and fine work by the Loves Park police department, an arrest has been made and that person will be charged with aggravated battery to a senior and armed robbery. Those calls are so important, so please continue to call them or call Crime Stoppers at 963-7867 or toll free at 1-888-769-STOP.

What is Crime Stoppers? The Crime Stoppers Program is managed by the Winnebago County Sheriff's office Crime Stopper Division, which is located in the Public Safety Building. The city of Rockford helps pay part of the operating costs of the Division which is staffed by one full time Deputy who acts as the program coordinator, Richard Gambini, and one full time assistant who is employed by Crime Stoppers. View more information on their website. |
| How does it work? People with information regarding criminal activity and fugitive locations are often reluctant to talk to law enforcement officials because they fear retaliation. The Crime Stoppers Program is designed to protect the identity of callers who are never asked their name when they give information, and we do not use caller ID. The caller is assigned a code number, which is used on the information file, and the referral sheet is forwarded to the appropriate agency for the follow up investigation. Callers also use their code to check on the status of the case, add information to the case, report other criminal activity, and to collect their reward. Crime Stoppers pays a cash reward up to $1,000.00 when an arrest is made or a crime is solved as a result of the caller's information. The amount of payment to the Crime Stopper caller is determined by the program coordinator and the Crime Stoppers Board of Directors who meet twice monthly to set the rewards. |
| $1000 REWARD
Callers with information about crimes can call the special Crime Stoppers phone numbers and anonymously give Crime Stoppers information. Each Caller is assigned a number, and if the tip results in an arrest, a reward will be paid. Rewards of up to $1000 will be presented for information that leads to an arrest. Crime Stoppers never asks your name. We do not have Caller ID. Paydates are twice a month.
QUICK 50 Students attending any school in Winnebago County can call the Crime Stoppers numbers and report any crime that has happened on school property involving students. Call to report any student bringing weapons, drugs or alcohol to school. If the information provided results in an arrest, a suspension or both, the caller will receive a reward of up to $50.
