MARION, Ill. - A $300 reward is being offered for information that leads to the arrest of James Glenn Marks, 44 of Pittsburg.
Marks is being sought by the Williamson County Sheriff's Office on charges of Assault With a Deadly Weapon and Criminal Damage to Personal Property. Marks is considered to be armed and dangerous and may be traveling with his wife, Melinda Baseden. You can read about why authorities are making the effort to locate Marks at this post.
Sources believe Marks is possibly driving either a white 2010-ish Chevy Z71, black Tahoe or Yukon white 2-door S10 2000-ish model. He does have other vehicles, but we have no description of make or model on those. However, here are two pics of a vehicle he's been observed driving.
We've been advised that the well-being of Marks' children is at stake. If you see Marks or his wife call the Williamson County Sheriff's Office at 618-997-6541 or Marion Police at 618-993-2126.
Here is a shot of the house where Marks has been staying.
