The Stafford County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday afternoon it is trying to locate a missing and endangered person and that there is a large police presence near Pepper Tree Lane and Regester Chapel Road.
In a series of posts on X, the sheriff’s office said people should not engage with the subject, who may be armed with a knife. Anyone who sees him should call 9-1-1 immediately, the office said. People with more information were asked to contact the emergency dispatch center at 540-658-4400.
The subject was described as a white male in his mid-40s, about 5 feet 5 inches tall and 140 pounds, with tattoos on his arms. He may be wearing a black short-sleeve “NRA” shirt, dark brown pants, and light green Nike shoes or brown work boots, the sheriff’s office said.
The office also released photos of the subject. No name was released in the posts reviewed for this report.
The Stafford County Sheriff’s Office announced the search on its X account Wednesday.
