McChesney, Special Agent in Charge of the Chicago Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), announced today that a warrant charging ADOLFO S.

Information has been received that ADOLFO SANCHEZ may have fled the area and may currently be outside of Illinois. SANCHEZ should be considered armed and dangerous. ADOLFO S. SANCHEZ is described as a Hispanic male, age 28, 5'8" tall, 130 pounds, black hair, and brown eyes. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of ADOLFO SANCHEZ is asked to call the FBI immediately at (312) 431-1333. |
