MONTVILLE, Ohio — The Montville Police Department is engaged in an active search for William Howard Taylor II. 

Taylor was involved in a domestic incident early Friday morning and fled the scene. His 2004 Silver Chrysler Town and Country Minivan (license plate GXK4490) was located on two separate occasions by neighboring police departments. 

Both times, Taylor was able to elude officers in high speed chases as police decided to call off the pursuits for the safety of the public.

According to Montville Police, Taylor has spent many years in prison, has violent tendencies, is a registered sexual offender, has a lengthy violent criminal record, and is known to flee and resist law enforcement.

If anyone has any information about the location of William Howard Taylor II, you are asked to immediately contact Montville Police at 330-725-2204. Taylor is considered dangerous and may still be armed with a knife. 

Taylor’s last known location was on Pearl Road in Parma; however, he does have family in Monvtille Township and he was traveling towards that home when police units initially pursued him.
