TOLEDO -- Somewhere, out there, there is a violent sex offender who has fallen off the law enforcement radar and U.S. Marshal Rodney Hartzell wants to bring him in.

Donald Pope is a repeat violent sex offender with convictions for rape, kidnapping, and robbery. He is supposed to register with the county sheriff every 90 days, but he's gone.

"He's been on our radar for years," said Hartzell. "There's a reason this sex offender doesn't want to be found."

Pope is wanted for arson, burglary, and failure to report as a sex offender. He told his family before he left, "If marshals show up, the warrants are B.S. It's really nothing."

The warrants are really something to Marshal Hartzell and he wants your help to bring in this dangerous sex offender before he hurts someone again.

If you know where Donald Pope can be found, contact the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force at 1-866 4WANTED. You can remain anonymous and there may be a cash reward. You may also prevent some woman somewhere from having to endure the pain and humiliation of sexual assault.
