Crime Stoppers Jan. 8: Most Wanted

From Jefferson County Sheriff Mike Hale:

"Rest assured, if you call Crime Stoppers, you remain anonymous.  We don't use Caller ID, and we'll never trace the call.

So if you know where we can find this week's suspects, Crime Stoppers needs to hear from you.

First, is 37-year-old Toni Jo Minot.  She's also known as Tony Jo Watson and Tony Jo Greek.  She's charged with sodomy and sexual abuse.  She could be in southern Chilton County.  Her last known address is along County Road 506 in Verbena.

Next, is 49-year-old Anthony Grady.  He faces charges of theft and burglary.  You might see him around southwest Birmingham.  His last known address is along the 400-block of South Park Road.

We also need to find 69-year-old Charles David Spradling.  He's wanted for failure to appear on charges of trafficking illegal drugs and use or possession of drug paraphernalia.  He could be in St. Clair County.  His last known address is along Driving Range Road in Cropwell.

If you've seen them, call Crime Stoppers at (205) 254-7777.  And remember, it could mean justice for them and a cash reward for you.

With Crime Stoppers Most Wanted, I'm Sheriff Mike Hale."

In addition to telephone tips, encrypted tips can be submitted online by going to www.birminghamcrimestoppers.org and clicking on the "submit an online tip" link.  Also, you can text 7777, along with your tip, to the word CRIMES.

If you provide information to Crime Stoppers, detectives will never ask for your name, and they will never see your phone number.  Instead, you will be assigned a private code number.  If your tip is the first to lead to an arrest, you then use the code number to claim a cash reward.

Crime Stoppers cannot call its tipsters to testify in court.
