He is 6’3”, 225 pounds, and has tattoos on both arms.  He is believed to be in the Harrisonburg area.

He should be considered possibly armed and dangerous.  Anyone with information of his whereabouts is urged to call 911.

Christopher Wayne Terry, 29 years old of Waynesboro, is charged as an accessory in the case.  The Waynesboro Police Department SWAT Team arrested him at an apartment on Port Republic Road at approximately 8:00 AM on today’s date.

 

First post: Tuesday, 5:44 p.m. The Waynesboro Police Department is requesting assistance from the community to help identify an individual involved in stealing from a city convenience store and threatening the cashier.

On Wednesday, August 30, at approximately 11:30 p.m., the suspect entered 7-Eleven, 1103 Ivy Street, with another suspect and walked around the store appearing to shop.  He put some merchandise in his pockets and started to leave the store.

A store employee attempted to stop him but the suspect threatened the employee with a weapon he purported to have with him. However no weapon was ever displayed.  The merchandise is valued at just under $20.
