South Carolina Probation and Parole Agency Adds 2 to Most Wanted List

COLUMBIA, South Carolina

The South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole and Pardons has placed two men on its Most Wanted list after both men removed court-ordered electronic monitoring devices and unlawfully fled, the agency announced Friday.

Ennis Laval Jackson of Charleston County and Anthony Propst of Richland County were on probation with the PPP after their convictions when they fled about a week ago, agency spokeswoman Anita Dantzler said. There is no evidence to suggest the men are together or connected, she said.

At the time the men removed their electronic monitoring devices, Jackson was on parole for third-degree burglary. Propst, a convicted child sex offender, was enrolled in a supervised reintegration program after being released from prison for violating electronic monitoring provisions of “Jessie’s Law,” Dantzler said.

In such cases, the PPP is immediately notified that the GPS monitor has been cut off, and the agent assigned to the offender goes to the person’s last known address and the location of the discarded monitor to search for the fugitive. If the offender is not immediately caught, the PPP adds the person to the agency’s Most Wanted list, Dantzler said.

There are currently eight men on the PPP list, including Jackson and Propst.

Anyone with information about the whereabouts of either man is asked to call 1-888-761-6175 and provide as much information as possible. All information shared with authorities is confidential.
