The sheriff’s office issued a warning to those who may be helping Bland avoid capture.

“This is now the 3rd time we’ve posted his wanted status and we know that everyone is aware of him being a fugitive,” the sheriff’s office said. “So, if we find that someone is assisting him in his efforts to elude capture, they can certainly expect to join him in our jail.”
