UPDATE 1:

The Crockett County Sheriff’s Office is searching for a man they say is armed and dangerous.

Starting around 6 p.m., the sheriff’s office issued a warning via Facebook to residents to secure their cars and lock their homes as the search for a man, later identified as Preston Young, began.

The sheriff says that as of 9:15 p.m., the search is still underway for Young.

The sheriff says that Young is facing three counts of aggravated domestic assault.

Via Facebook, the sheriff’s office also reports that he is wanted on “several felony charges.”

The post says he was last seen on “Siloam Road without shoes or a shirt.”

The sheriff says that they do not have a file available on Young, so they are unable to report his age at this time.
