Chris Graham

The Waynesboro Police Department has only three remaining individuals who are still wanted from Operation Valley Fog.  Derek and Amy Ackelson have been wanted since mid-October 2014 when they failed to appear for their circuit court trial regarding charges they received in a marijuana grow operation from 2013.  Jody Wayne Prather has been wanted since November 2014 on a district court capias for failing to comply with BRCS pretrial supervision.  He also netted a felony charge of Possession of Schedule I or II drug which made him a target of OPV.

Two more targets surrendered themselves Monday at the Police Department.  Officers arrested Roger Torrance Price and Natasha Tate at 12:30 p.m. today at the department.  Each was wanted on a single felony charge of Distribution of Cocaine which stems from a search warrant in September 2014.  Price was also wanted in Louisa County on three probation violation charges.

Price and Tate are being held on $5,000 and $2,500 bonds, respectively, at MRRJ.

Anyone with information of the whereabouts of anyone on this list is asked to call the Waynesboro Police Department at (540) 942-6675 or Central Shenandoah Crime Stoppers at 1(800)322-2017.  Information given to Crime Stoppers may be given anonymously.
