He was located and taken into custody at a residence on Haney Hill Road in Greene County on Tuesday, May 5. Rogers faces numerous charges in Washington County which include one count of evading arrest by motor vehicle; two counts of evading arrest by foot; one count of reckless driving; and four counts of motor vehicle theft.
