Central Precinct detectives are working to locate a man wanted on nine outstanding warrants related to multiple thefts downtown. Joshua Ray Cloyd, 32, is alleged to have victimized intoxicated individuals on Lower Broadway by stealing their phones, wallets and credit cards.
Last November, a victim had his iPhone 14 stolen while on Broadway. The same day his Cash app transferred money to an account registered to Cloyd and the money was used to purchase a hotel room in Madison.
Another victim reported his iPhone and credit cards were stolen from his rear pockets on January 12 while at a bar on Broadway. He tracked his stolen phone to a different hotel in Madison and his credit cards were used to make purchases in the same area at ATMs and gas stations.
Cloyd is currently facing charges for computer violation fraud, credit card fraud and theft.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463.
