PERRYVILLE, Mo. -- The Perry County Sheriff's Department is looking for a man it labeled "armed, dangerous and violent" in a community bulletin.

According to an alert sent through the website Nixle, authorities are looking for Michael Fuller, who is 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs about 175 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes. He has several tattoos, according to the bulletin.

The department did not have information to share on the type of warrant as of Wednesday afternoon.

A department spokesperson said a Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper stopped Fuller, who fled and was then pursued by the officer and was joined in the chase by sheriff's deputies, but got away. Law enforcement was still searching for Fuller as of Wednesday afternoon.

Authorities urge anyone who sees Fuller to call 911 and not to confront him.
