PROSSER -- Department of Corrections Officers in the Tri-Cities are asking for your help to find 34-year-old Anthony Richman aka 'Pumba'. He is wanted for Residential Burglary and Identity Theft as well as for Escape.  He forfeited his bail money when he skipped out on court in Benton County.

 


Officers say he has also been identified from surveillance video as a suspect along with his cousin in a new case in Benton County. Prosser Police arrested his cousin last week who is refusing to cooperate.


 


Officers say Richman has nothing to lose because he knows he is going back to prison for a long time which makes him a danger to the public.


Richman's criminal history includes convictions for meth possession, identity theft, residential burglary and forgery.


 


He could be anywhere between Prosser and Tri-Cities.





If you know where officers can find him, you can call the Southeast Communications Center's Non-Emergency line at (509) 628-0333 or message Prosser Police or the Benton County Sheriff's Office on their Facebook page.
