The Sheriff’s Office needs the public’s help in locating RUSSELL C. STEVENS. Stevens is wanted in connection with a felony assault/burglary at approximately noon today. He is approximately 5’09” tall, 145 lbs. close cut brown hair, brown eyes, moustache/partial beard, and multiple tattoos (visible on neck). He was last seen wearing grey short pans, and a red/black shirt, in the vicinity of Gee Road. Investigating officers have reason to believe Stevens may be armed and fled the crime scene on foot.
