On Monday, the Massachusetts State Police announced that they have added two men to their Most Wanted Fugitives List. One man is suspected in separate stabbing and shooting incidents on Cape Cod, while the other is wanted for beating a baby in Belchertown.

William L. Benton, 22, fled after skipping a scheduled court date and is wanted on five arrest warrants in Barnstable County. Benton is suspected of stabbing a man during an argument in Yarmouth in April. The victim survived the stabbing following emergency surgery due to life-threatening injuries. Benton ran from the stabbing scene, but was later charged by Yarmouth Police with Attempted Murder and Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon.

Benton is also suspected of firing a gun at another man in Hyannis last May and is wanted on three other arrest warrants, two of them for assaults. According to the State Police, Benton is known to have access to firearms, knives and other weapons and is considered armed and dangerous.

He is white, 5'7" and roughly 145 pounds with black hair, brown eyes, a scar on this left check and several tattoos: the Grim Reaper on his back and images of a flower, frog and flag on his left forearm.

Keith Truehart, 30, is being sought on two arrest warrants - one of them for assault and battery on a child which caused substantial injury. Last November, Belchertown Police responded to a call for a 9-month-old infant supposedly injured in a fall. Medical evidence indicated that the child's injuries were not accidental but had been inflicted by someone. Truehart later fled prior to response of police and paramedics.

Truehart is also wanted by Amherst Police on charges of assault and battery and malicious destruction of property. He is white, 5’11”, 185 lbs., with brown hair, green eyes, and scars near his left eye and on his upper right arm. He has several tattoos: the word “Tina” on his right forearm; the word “Blazed” on his left forearm; an image of a dragon and sword on his shoulder; barbed wire on his right shoulder; and the letters “DLS” on his abdomen.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of WILLIAM L. BENTON or KEITH A. TRUEHART is urged to call the Massachusetts State Police Violence Fugitive Apprehension Section at 1-800-KAPTURE (1-800-527-8873).
