Ocean Springs police said in a Facebook post they are seeking Wade Garrett Hartney Wade in connection with a grand larceny case, listing case number 2026080879, after he failed to appear for a scheduled hearing.

The post urged Wade to contact detectives or to stop by the police station to speak with investigators. It said members of the public may also be watching for him at some of his known hangouts, including hotels in Ocean Springs.
