Authorities continue to search for a Marion County Detention Center inmate after he failed to return from a medical furlough Tuesday.

According to the jailer, Johnny Ray McQueen, 51, was granted temporary release to go to the doctor on Tuesday and did not return by the 5 p.m. deadline.

It was a follow-up appointment for an unspecified medical condition that McQueen had been treated for prior to being jailed in April for failure to comply with sex offender registration and fleeing and evading police.

In May, officials say McQueen had been issued this same medical furlough and he came back without any issues.

McQueen was indicted on a robbery charge in connection with an armed robbery at Cash-A-Check in Lebanon last March. According to the Lebanon Enterprise, McQueen faces additional charges of possession of a handgun by a convicted felon and first-degree persistent felony offender.

McQueen is also listed on the sex offender registry for sexual assault.

If you have any information on McQueen’s whereabouts, you are asked to contact Lebanon police, State Police or the Marion County jail.

It’s been six months since a Richmond Drug store was robbed by a man who made no attempt to hide his face.

Still, the case has gone cold.

Detectives have noticed a trend in robberies lately. More suspects who seem to be asking to be identified easily. Most of the suspects make no attempt to hide their faces.

“People are walking in and they’re trying to blend in like customers of a store as to not draw immediate alarm,” says Detective Jason Rothermund.

Detective Rothermund says, quite often, these criminals aren’t sure if they’ll commit to the crime when they walk in, but fortunately for investigators, when and if they do, cameras are rolling.

Cameras were rolling on March 26, when a man walked into Richmond Drug on Berea Rd. in Madison County.

“He asks some general questions about narcotics and what kind of prescriptions they fill. After those questions are answered by the store clerk, he pulls a black revolver out of his pants,” says Det. Rothermund.

The employee complies, putting all the drugs in plastic garbage bags. The man in the ball cap stays long enough to get a pretty good picture of his face.

But his face is all police have.

“We don’t see him get into a vehicle or anything so right now what we’re trying to determine based off of photos that we have and help Richmond Police identify who this suspect is,” says Det. Rothermund.

If you have information about this case, call the Crime Stoppers tipline at (859) 253-2020. Your information could earn you a cash reward.
