You see the usual ads on the sign between the Jefferson
Avenue and Fort Eustis exits, but mug shots of suspected
criminals are also there.
The FBI began the billboard
campaign on October 24, posting two photos. One of the
suspects, Richard Franklin Wiggins, surrendered on drugs
charges soon after.
"They were driving by, they see him and he feels
the pressure from his family members telling, so we received
a note on November 12t. He actually turned himself into
US Marshals,” explained Vanessa Torres.
Torres says new photos will be added and she hopes the
public will take a look and perhaps give a tip that lead
to an arrest.
Lamar Advertising is donating space to the FBI on that
billboard. Adams Outdoor Advertising is donating space
on two Southside billboards. They're in Portsmouth --
one east and one westbound on Frederick Blvd. off I-264.
