Law enforcement officials in the Texas Panhandle have issued a public appeal to help locate a woman wanted for a string of probation violations. Jennifer Lynn Francis, 29, is currently the subject of an active search by the Randall County Sheriff’s Office. According to Amarillo Crime Stoppers, Francis has failed to adhere to the terms of her probation following previous convictions for stalking and cruelty to a non-livestock animal.

The animal cruelty charge specifically pertains to "non-livestock" animals, a category under Texas law that typically includes domestic pets such as dogs and cats. While specific details of the original incident have not been re-released, the Randall County Sheriff’s Office noted that the violation of probation terms has triggered an immediate warrant for her arrest. Additionally, Francis is wanted for violating her probation regarding a stalking charge, a second-degree felony in Texas when repeated or involving specific threats.

Amarillo Crime Stoppers is encouraging citizens to provide information through their anonymous tip line. To incentivize community involvement, officials have stated that any information leading directly to an arrest could result in a cash reward of up to $300. Tips can be submitted via telephone, through the "P3 Tips" mobile application, or via the Amarillo Police Department's official website.

Authorities emphasize that individuals should not attempt to apprehend Francis themselves but should instead contact law enforcement immediately upon sighting her. The search for Francis comes amid a broader push by Randall County officials to address outstanding warrants and probation non-compliance within the region.

Jennifer Lynn Francis is described as a white female, and her last known location was within the Amarillo metropolitan area. Investigators are currently reviewing recent sightings and digital footprints to narrow down her current whereabouts.
