US Marshals have offered a $5,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of missing high school football coach Travis Turner, who is now wanted on child pornography charges.
The US Marshals Service has urged the public to report any tips on the married father from Big Stone Gap, Virginia, to 911, State Police, or the USMS tips line at 1-877-WANTED2.
Turner was last seen Nov. 20 walking into the woods with a firearm, according to the family’s attorney, Adrian Collins.
He is wanted on five counts of possession of child pornography and five counts of using a computer to solicit a minor. Additional charges are pending, according to police.
Turner is no longer listed as a staff member on the website of Union High School, where he was leading the football team to an undefeated season when he disappeared.
Authorities have warned he may be armed and urged caution before approaching him.
