Man wanted on charges connected to cases in Georgia, Kentucky
MCCRACKEN COUNTY, Ky. – The McCracken County Sheriff’s Office is seeking help to locate a man wanted in connection with cases out of Georgia and Kentucky.
According to authorities, Dwayne Morrow is wanted by the Gwinnett County Police Department in Georgia on warrants charging him with kidnapping and battery from an investigation into an incident that happened on March 12 in Lilburn, Georgia.
Authorities say Morrow allegedly assaulted a male victim during a dispute at a residence, causing “significant injuries that required medical treatment.”
As detectives have worked to find Morrow, the McCracken County Sheriff’s Office says it executed a search warrant at his home in Paducah. During the search, authorities say a handgun was located. Due to Morrow being a convicted felon, authorities say he is prohibited from owning guns.
As a result, an additional charge has been obtained against Morrow for possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.
Investigators say they believe Morrow may still be in the Paducah or McCracken County areas or may be attempting to avoid law enforcement.
Anyone who recognizes Morrow or has information regarding his whereabouts is urged to contact law enforcement. Citizens should not attempt to approach or apprehend Morrow themselves.
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Morrow is encouraged to contact the McCracken County Sheriff’s Office at 270-444-4719 or submit an anonymous tip through West Kentucky Crime Stoppers by calling 270-443-TELL.
