The Harvey County Sheriff's Office needs your help in locating a man wanted for kidnapping.
47-year-old Joshua Harris escaped from the Harvey County Courthouse as a sheriff's deputy attempted to detain him on a warrant for aggravated kidnapping. The incident happened Thursday morning while Harris was in court for a separate case, according to Harvey County Sheriff Chad Gay.
Gay says the court notified the sheriff's office that Harris had an outstanding warrant. A deputy who works security at the courthouse attempted to stop Harris as he left the courtroom, but he fled out of the building.
Harris was able to get into his vehicle and flee the area. Due to a high volume of traffic near the courthouse at the time, the deputies were not able to reach his vehicle before he fled the area.
Harris is currently wanted on a $100,000 for aggravated kidnapping. He had been arrested in Harvey County for DUI, and drug and drug paraphernalia possession.
Harris has a criminal history with convictions in Sedgwick, Cowley, and Sumner County for Aggravated Battery, Burglary, theft, Criminal Possession of a Firearm, Flee/Attempt to Elude Police, and Aggravated Escape From Custody. Anyone with information about Harris or his location is asked to contact the Harvey County Sheriff's Office at (316) 284-6960 or call 911.

Thoughts? As far as I can tell, Harris is still at large as of today's posting date (October 10th, 2021) since the above article is from only two days ago with no updates about a capture that I could find online since. However, if anyone ever has any updates/proof-of-updates one way or the other, they are always more than welcome to let us know.
