West Virginia State Police are searching for a Rosedale fugitive
currently facing several state and federal arrest warrants.
"He's got several charges waiting for him," said Cpl. J.E. Skidmore
of Glenville.
Police are asking for the publics assistance in locating Phillip Lee
Sandy. His last known address is 6th Street, Rosedale.
Phillip Lee Sandy
"Somebody knows where he is," Cpl. Skidmore said.
Sandy is a convicted sexual offender and is required by law
to report his address to police and notify any move within
10 days, Cpl. Skidmore said.
The WV State Police sex offender registry indicates Sandy,
age 45, was convicted of the attempted rape of an adult
female in Virginia in 1990. He served approximately one
year in jail for the crime.
Sandy was apparently working in Gassaway, according to
the registry.
Sandy weighs 180 pounds, eyes are brown, height is 6'. His hair
is salt-and-pepper gray.
In addition to charges pending in Braxton County, Sandy is
also being sought for failure to appear as a witness in a
federal case.
Some Rosedale residents are apparently anxious for the
State Police to locate Sandy, as there's been a spike in speeding
tickets written in the area recently.
It's been reported one resident's frustration led him to paint
a message on the highway, stating, "Speed Trap Thanks
to Phillip Sandy."
Anyone with information regarding a sighting or the whereabouts
of Phillip Lee Sandy are asked to call the West Virginia State
Police immediately at 304-462-7101, or any local law enforcement
agency. Information and tips are kept confidential.
