Sheriff's Office Asking for Public's Help in Locating Wanted Man

The Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help in locating Scott Earl Menefee (36 years old). Menefee is a Pace, FL resident who was serving a misdemeanor jail sentence for violating his probation concerning a non-violent crime.

Menefee's brother, who is also incarcerated at the Santa Rosa County Jail, was scheduled to be released and Scott Menefee was released in his place. A judge has since issued an order to return Menefee back into the custody of the Santa Rosa County Jail. Anyone with information concerning the whereabouts of Menefee is asked to contact the Sheriff's Office, or Crime Stoppers at 437-STOP. A photograph of Menefee is attached to this email.
