Following that search, Wayne County Deputies worked conjointly with the Wayne County Courts to seek an arrest warrant for Adrienne Turner, age 33 of Richmond. Last night, Wayne County Deputies found the vehicle that Adrienne was associated with in the area of Test Road and Salisbury Road in Richmond.
