Wanted: Bail-jumper with pot-leaf tattoos

ALEDO — The long arm of the law seeks a long arm of cannabis tattoos.

Mercer County Crime Stoppers asks the public's help in finding an alleged bail-jumper: Joshua Dale Session, 31, of New Boston. Session is described as white, 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing 165 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. Session wears glasses and has tattoos of marijuana leaves on his upper left arm.

In November, Session was charged in Mercer County Circuit Court with a felony count of aggravated fleeing and eluding a police officer, meaning he allegedly tried to speed away from police at 21 mph or more. Specifics of that charge were unavailable, though Session also was slapped with three traffic citations. On Nov. 21, bond was set at $15,000 and referenced warrants regarding five prior felony cases in the county from 2008 through 2014: aggravated battery to a police officer, two counts of thefts and two counts of driving on a revoked license. Further, the Mercer County Sheriff's Office said he also is wanted on a warrant for residential burglary, though further information on that charge was not available. 

On Dec. 18, Session posted $1,500 cash bail and was released from the county jail. A pretrial hearing was set for Feb. 13. When Session failed to show, a new arrest warrant was issued. 

If you have any information regarding the location Session, contact the Mercer County Crime Stoppers at (800) 582-2762 or (309) 582-3500. Information leading to the arrest of Session  could bring a cash reward of up to $1,000.
