GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — At first glance, a Facebook post from the Gwinnett County sheriff's office in Georgia seems normal.

"We're certain that his children will appreciate any information you can provide to help us find him since they want to eat and keep a roof over their heads," officials said.

According to the sheriff’s office, Hovis owes more than $30,000 in child support, too.

After asking those with information about Hovis’ whereabouts to call the sheriff’s office, authorities address him directly.

“Mr. Hovis,” the sheriff’s office said, “if you see this post, you should consider turning yourself in. It's never too late to start doing the right thing.”
