(South Hill, Va.) — Police now believe 34-year-old William Jason Roberts may be somewhere in the South Hill area. Roberts is wanted in Colorado and Kansas and authorities consider him “armed and dangerous.” He grew up in South Hill and authorities found a stolen vehicle Roberts was believed to be driving at the Mecklenburg-Brunswick County line on Wednesday night.

The former marine has been on the run for a week, after allegedly assaulting a woman in Colorado. Police spotted him in Kansas during a traffic stop, but he escaped and is believed to have stolen a truck used in his getaway.

Roberts was spotted last Friday in Allegheny County. He was driving the stolen vehicle when he led officers on a chase into Botetourt County, where deputies lost his trail.
