LAKE COUNTY, Fla. – The Lake County Sheriff’s Office announced that a $10,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of Zachery Waldo, the man who left his DUI manslaughter trial for lunch and never returned.

Waldo, who was out on bond, left his trial on March 14 and has not been seen since.

According to police, Waldo has fled from law enforcement in the past, and has a history of committing battery against law enforcement.

Anyone who comes in contact with Waldo is advised to proceed with caution.

The reward – $5,000 from Central Florida Crimeline and $5,000 from the from the Florida Sheriff’s Association Criminal Apprehension Assistance Program – was announced on Monday.

In order to be eligible for the reward, callers must provide their information through Crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS, where they can remain completely anonymous.

Also on Monday, the sheriff’s office said Waldo’s girlfriend, 32-year-old Melinesia Shauntel Jones, was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals on a Lake County warrant.

Isn’t Melenesia contiguous with Micronesia?
