ALBEMARLE COUNTY, VA – (ACPD) – On Thursday, April 6, 2023, at approximately 1:46 pm, Albemarle County Police Department was dispatched to a call for service for an armed individual experiencing a mental health crisis.

ACPD is actively seeking the location of 23-year-old Dylan Gregory Harvey, who was last seen wearing a black tank top, tan shorts, and cowboy boots. Mr. Harvey is suspected to have a firearm.

Upon arrival, officers initiated a conversation via phone with Mr. Harvey and his family in an attempt to have him return to the residence. After it was determined that Mr. Harvey was not returning to the residence, ACPD determined the need for a Shelter in Place alert. At approximately 3:01 pm, ACPD issued that alert for a 3-mile radius of the 1000 block of Greenwood Road as units searched the area for Mr. Harvey. At approximately 4:14 pm that radius was expanded to 4 miles.

Anyone who sees Mr. Harvey should call 911 immediately.

Those within four miles of the 1000 block of Greenwood Road are strongly encouraged to shelter in place, which means: conditions outside are unsafe and a higher degree of protection is likely available inside and individuals should be on alert for unusual activity.
