RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — The Virginia Department of Corrections (VADOC) is looking for a fugitive who was previously found guilty of two charges related to sexual abuse of a child.
According to VADOC, 37-year-old John Allove Shifflett is wanted for probation violation. Shifflett’s probation stems from previous convictions of indecent liberties with a child, as well as carnal knowledge of a child aged 13 or 14.
Shifflett was convicted in Albemarle County, but his last known address is 3220 Enslow Avenue in Richmond’s North Highland Park neighborhood.
Shifflett is described as a 5-foot-7-inch white man who weighs 223 pounds and has brown eyes and hair. He has a tattoo of a jester on his left arm, a tattoo of a skull on his upper back and a tattoo of the letter “L” on his left hand.
