Cayce, SC 02/15/2023 (Paul Kirby) – This week, the City of Cayce’s Police Department is searching for a 29-year-old woman that they’ve had a warrant for since the summer of 2022. Each week, the Police Department publishes the information of a fugitive that they’ve obtained a warrant/s for but have been unable to locate for one reason or another. It’s their hope that someone will recognize the fugitive from justice featured that week and make a tip that would lead to an arrest. To date, they have had several instances where they were able to locate and capture alleged criminals who have been evading them for long periods of time.
This week, they are featuring Kathy Lea Watford. Watford is a 29-year-old Caucasian woman. The last photo the Police Department has of Watford shows she has long, dark brown hair. Police say at the time of the crime, Watford weighed approximately 185 pounds and is 5 feet 7 inches tall.
On June 13, 2023, Watford and a partner to her crime contacted an individual giving that person the impression they were interested in buying a 2007 Yamaha R6 motorcycle for sale in the City of Cayce. On that same date, Watford and her partner in crime then assisted in the stealing of the motorcycle from its rightful owner.
After Cayce’s investigators presented their evidence to a judge, the judge agreed there was enough there to issue an arrest warrant for Watford’s arrest on the charge of Grand Larceny. To date, police have been unable to track down Watford’s whereabouts to serve her with the warrant and take her into custody.
