Perryville law enforcement still searching for 'dangerous' fugitive

PERRYVILLE, Mo. -- A Perryville man being sought after evading arrest Wednesday remained on the run Thursday, according to police.

Michael E. Fuller fled on foot Wednesday afternoon when law enforcement tried to take him to jail on a warrant for unlawful use of a weapon, said Lt. Direk Hunt of the Perryville Police Department. Fuller 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 issued yesterday by the Perry County Sheriff's Department.

Hunt said the warrant for Fuller was issued after he allegedly pulled a gun on a person, and further charges for Fuller are pending. Police on Thursday had so far checked a residence where they believed Fuller could have been hiding and found he had been there but was gone when they arrived. Hunt said Fuller is potentially armed and should be considered dangerous.

He was last seen in the area of Big Spring Boulevard in Perryville.

Anyone who sees Fuller is urged to not confront him and should call the Perryville Police Department at 573-547-4546 or the Perry County Sheriff's Department at 573-547-4576.
