A wanted fugitive in Texas County was taken into custody without incident recently following a coordinated investigation and surveillance effort by local and state law enforcement agencies as part of Operation Relentless Pursuit (ORP).
The investigation began on May 7 when a South-Central Drug Task Force (SCDTF) team member relayed information from a tip regarding the whereabouts of fugitive Tiffany N. Shannon, who was wanted on a no-bond Texas County probation violation warrant.
Operation Relentless Pursuit (ORP) members conducted initial surveillance on May 9 at a residence on Joe Jones Boulevard in West Plains, but no confirmation of Shannon’s presence could be established.
On May 13, ORP task force members were provided another tip about a possible second location on Johnson Street in West Plains that Shannon may be staying with her boyfriend, authorities said.
Surveillance was conducted at the Johnson Street residence, where a suspected vehicle was located. After no direct sightings of Shannon, it was decided that uniformed deputies would attempt contact.
Upon approaching the residence, a male answered the door and confirmed Shannon was inside the residence. Moments later, she came to the door and surrendered peacefully.
Shannon was taken into custody for her warrant, and initially booked at the Howell County Jail before being transported to the Texas County Jail.
