The Michigan Department of Corrections and local law enforcement authorities are searching for Talleon Stephon Brazil, who was improperly released by Ohio authorities after facing criminal charges in court there.
Brazil was serving time at the Saginaw Correctional Facility when on Jan. 14, he was picked up by the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office in Portsmouth, Ohio to face a series of drug-related charges.
Rather than keep him in custody until the criminal case had concluded, the authorities in Ohio released Brazil on bond improperly and he was picked up by members of his family and it is believed they took him back to the Detroit area.
Anyone with information on Brazil’s whereabouts is urged to call 911. He is 31 years old and is 5’ 10’’ and about 205 pounds. The photo of Brazil wearing glasses were taken by Scotio County Jail on January 14, 2020.
Citizens should not approach this individual and should instead contact law enforcement immediately.
