The Colorado Department of Corrections has issued a fugitive alert out of Colorado Springs for three men who fled from parole supervision, two of whom are associated with the 211 Crew, officials said Friday.
The department wants the public to be on the lookout for 36-year-old Dennis Simonton, 31-year-old Wesley Jones and 46-year-old William Wasilkowski, according to a department of corrections news release.
Jones and Simonton, who the department said are associated with the 211 Crew, are believed to be traveling together. Simonton fled on Feb.10 and Jones fled on the Feb. 11.
Wasilkowski also fled on Feb.11, the release said.
All three men have nationwide warrants out for their arrest.
“It is not known at this time if these individuals are armed, however they should be considered armed and dangerous,” the release said. “Do not attempt to contact or apprehend these individuals.”
Evan Ebel, a parolee who shot and killed Tom Clements, the head of Colorado prisons in 2013, also was associated with the 211Crew, a white supremacist prison gang.
New details recently emerged in the case of Thomas Guolee, a man once considered a person of interest in Clements’ murder and also associated with the white supremacist gang. Court documents allege that Guolee tried in December to break into the house of another former corrections official, even as the former official’s wife and young children were inside.
El Paso County prosecutors have charged Guolee with 11 felonies, including attempted murder of a peace officer, attempted first-degree burglary, attempted armed burglary and vehicular eluding. Guolee is expected to appear in court on April 6 for a preliminary hearing.
If someone spots any of the three fugitives, they are encouraged to call 911. Anyone with information about their whereabouts is asked to contact local law enforcement or the Colorado Department of Corrections Fugitive Apprehension Unit at 1-866-873-6305.
