COLUMBUS, GA (WTVM) -

Police in Columbus and Phenix City are searching for a suspect they say is armed and dangerous.

John Oscar Dunn II, 27, has outstanding warrants with the Columbus Police Department, one outstanding warrant with Muscogee County Sheriff's Department and one felony warrant with Phenix City Police.

Officer Deborah Whitley with the Columbus Police Department says Dunn is approximately 6 feet 1 and weighs 180 pounds. He has hazel eyes, strawberry blonde hair and may have a small amount of facial hair. He has numerous tattoos on his body. He also goes by the name "Lil Johnny". 

If you see him, contact your local law enforcement agency immediately.

"You remain anonymous when you call the Crimestoppers line, you do not have to give your name phone number, we'll ask as many questions as we can and give you an ID number for collection for a reward once the person has been indicted in a court," says Officer Whitley.

You can contact either Columbus Police Department at 706-653-3400 or Phenix City Police Department at 334-448-2800.
