Full Notification

Evansville Police are looking for 32 year old QUENTIN ANTOINE CARTER. Carter is wanted for felony domestic violence. A warrant was issued for his arrest on August 14th.
On August 16th, an officer working in the Caldwell Homes area received information that Carter was in the area and was armed with a handgun. The officer spotted Carter walking near the intersection of Linwood and Cross. Based on the information that Carter was wanted for a violent crime and that he was possibly armed, the officer initiated a high risk stop of Carter and a man that was with him.
Despite repeated instructions to keep his hands up and to get onto the ground, Carter made multiple movements towards his midsection. Carter also retreated to the rear of a parked SUV to prevent the officer from being able to observe his actions.
The officer believed Carter was trying to access a weapon from his midsection, but continued to give instructions. Carter moved several times while using the SUV for cover. To the officer, Carter's movements indicated he was trying to get a tactical advantage over the him and possibly ambush him if he approached the SUV.
The officer kept his distance and eventually sought protective cover behind his own police car.
When the officer did not continue to advance on Carter, he chose to flee on foot. The officer maintained control of the second man and provided information to responding officers.
Carter was last seen running south on Linwood. He was not located that day.
Police are asking anyone who has information on Carter to call 911 or WeTip at 1-800-78-CRIME.
