CHIPLEY — Officials are advising restraint if the public spots a man wanted on 10 counts of lewd and lascivious acts on four different victims under 12-years old, according to a news release from the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.
WCSO is currently seeking the whereabouts of 64-year-old William “Pete” Jackson McCullers. He is wanted by Washington County authorities on 10 counts of lewd and lascivious acts on four people under 12-years old, WCSO reported. In an alert released Thursday, officers stressed that the public “take no action on your own” if they have any information regarding the whereabouts of William McCullers.
Instead, WCSO is encouraging people to immediately call the sheriff’s office or 911.
“We just don’t want anybody trying to make a citizens arrest,” said Andrea Gainey, WCSO public information officer.
Officers believe William McCullers is traveling in the company of his wife, Linda McCullers, both Washington County residents. However, William McCullers was spotted recently in the Houston County, Ala., area, WCSO reported.
William McCullers is described as a white male, 5-foot-9-inches tall, 64-years-old with gray hair. The couple could be traveling in a 2002 silver Chrysler Town and Country van, tag number: 0102PE, or a green 1997 Ford F-150 truck, tag number: 6872HM.
Anyone with information regarding William McCullers’ whereabouts is encouraged to contact WCSO’s lead investigator Capt. Mark Collins at (850) 638-6111.
