Earlier this week Morristown authorities obtained an arrest warrant for Mendez for “Leaving The Scene Of An Accident Involving a Fatality”. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is now offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. Anyone who sees Mendez or knows of his whereabouts is being asked to call the Morristown police department at 423-585-2701.
