ROCHESTER — Authorities are looking for an Akron teen being held on burglary and arson charges who escaped from Fulton County Sheriff’s personnel Monday.

Police said Trevor Williams, 18, of the 1000 Block of North Lakeshore Drive, Akron, escaped on foot when he was taken from the Fulton County Jail by special operations unit officers to Akron to help in the arson investigation.

Williams and Brady Shepherd, 18, of the 3000 block of South Indiana 19, Mentone, were arrested in connection with a Sept. 18 fire in Akron that caused $350,000 damage to a structure filled with hay.

Police said Williams will now face additional charges of escape and theft.

Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call the Fulton County Sheriff’s Department at (574) 223-2819. Anyone assisting Williams in remaining at-large, police said, could face a felony charge of assisting a criminal.
