Lincoln County Sheriff’s Deputies are trying to find a man who they say is a danger to the community.
33-year-old Tommy Reynolds Junior is wanted in three counties for drugs and motor vehicle theft.
Lincoln County deputies are posting a wanted flyer all over, but specifically in Crab Orchard. They spent the day searching an apartment complex there, and say they need people who see Reynolds, or know where he is, to speak up.

“He’s a Lincoln County boy and has been for years, so that’s why I think they will probably catch him in this area somewhere,” said one resident who didn’t want to be identified.
That’s what deputies want, and fast. They say every minute Reynolds is on the run, there’s a risk.
“The dangerous part is that he will do whatever means necessary to get away from capture, whether it means running, fighting, whatever he needs to do,” said Sgt. Ryan Kirkpatrick.
Investigators say Reynolds is wanted in Pulaski, Rockcastle, and Lincoln counties for drugs, as well as stealing cars and motorcycles. But whenever they try to arrest him..
“It’s always a high speed pursuit,” Kirkpatrick said.
Deputies say in August they chased Reynolds on Highway 150, until he crashed his car and got away. The next day it happened again near Crab Orchard Elementary School – causing the school to go on lock-down.
Reynolds drove through a fence, and deputies caught two men in his car but he took off.
“He’s always one step ahead,” Kirkpatrick said. “We want him off the streets.”
After weeks of failed searches, such as the one at the apartment complex Tuesday, investigators aren’t giving up, and neither is the community.
“They will eventually make an arrest,” said resident Lester Hopkins. “And it probably won’t be long now that his picture is being shown everywhere.”
Anyone with information about Tommy Reynolds Jr. can call the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Department at 606-365-2696.
