“In late September, we tried a new strategy of concentrating on DRO warrant searches during the day for one week and we captured 11 defendants who owed $62,791.65 for 14 kids,” said Montgomery County Sheriff Russell Bono in a press release. “We will continue to try different approaches in order to bring these people in.”

Several defendants remain on the “Most Wanted” list for failure to pay child support.

“As always, we encourage defendants to turn themselves in so that they don’t have to see their name and picture plastered all over television and social media,” Bono added.
