LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport Police Department is continuing its efforts to locate a local man wanted for domestic violence and terrorist threats.
Ben Emerson Brooks, 34, has been at large since Oct. 31, as Lake County News has reported.
Days later, police issued an alert about Brooks, who is wanted on a felony Lake County Superior Court arrest warrant.
Since then, police reported receiving some leads on where Brooks may be hiding but have not been able to locate and arrest him.
The agency suspects Brooks may be moving around between the Ukiah and Lakeport areas.
At 1 a.m. Wednesday, an alert Lakeport Police officer doing security checks in the 100 block of Lange Street spotted suspicious subjects in the area and attempted to contact them.
At that point, a subject identified as Brooks fled from the officer, police said.
The Lakeport Police Department said additional officers, including deputies from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, responded to the area to conduct a search but they were unable to locate Brooks.
Brooks is 6 feet tall, weighs 185 pounds, and has blond hair and blue eyes, according to a description offered by police.
Do not attempt to contact or approach him, police said.
Anyone who sees Brooks or knows his whereabouts is asked to call the Lakeport Police Department at 707-263-5491 or their local law enforcement agency immediately.
