Terre Haute, Ind (WIBQ) - The Terre Haute man accused of knowingly spreading HIV is on the run.
32 year old Isiah Benford was released from the Vigo County jail back in August after new documents and witnesses were shared with the defense. The judge ordered Benford to be released until his February court date where he faces 27 criminal counts. The charges include aggravated battery and failing to warn partners of his HIV status.
Police have issued a warrant for Benford’s arrest and suspect that he may have fled the state.
If you see Benford, officials urge you to call police.
