The Alaska State Troopers are seeking the public’s help locating 42-year-old Fairbanks resident Gareth Ward.  In mid-August, the Alaska Bureau of Investigation responded to an address on Yukeen Drive for follow up regarding a felony level investigation.  Upon arriving at the residence, Ward fled the scene on foot to avoid contact from Troopers and attempted to gain access to a neighboring home occupied by a juvenile child.  Ward was unable to enter the home and fled again on foot as Troopers closed in.  Troopers searched the area with the assistance of a K9 and HELO2.  Troopers were unable to locate Ward. 

Ward currently has an outstanding felony warrant for his arrest.  Ward is also wanted for questioning regarding a separate investigation.  Ward has been known to use a false identity to deceive the public and evade arrest on his warrant.  Ward is believed to be a danger to the public. 

The Alaska State Troopers are requesting help locating Ward.  Anyone with information about Ward can call the Alaska State Troopers in Fairbanks at (907) 451-5100.
