Syvrud is also being sought for several outstanding warrants, including failure to appear for a DUI in Wisconsin and failure to register as a sex offender and a hit and run in Graham County, Arizona, the sheriff’s office said.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is urged to call 911 or their local law enforcement agency.

The sheriff’s office is currently on the lookout for a man who is believed to be connected to alleged threats to kill a presidential candidate. The threats, which were reportedly made on social media, have sparked concern among law enforcement officials and the general public.
The man in question is described as being in his mid-30s, with a medium build and short brown hair. He is believed to be armed and dangerous, and authorities are urging the public to exercise caution if they come into contact with him.
The threats against the presidential candidate have raised serious concerns about the safety and security of not only the candidate but also the general public. In today’s politically charged climate, threats against public figures are taken very seriously, and law enforcement agencies are working diligently to ensure the safety of all individuals involved.
It is important for anyone with information about the whereabouts of the suspect to come forward and assist law enforcement in their efforts to apprehend him. By working together, we can help prevent any potential harm from coming to the presidential candidate or anyone else who may be at risk.
In the meantime, it is crucial for individuals to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity or threats they may come across. Threats against public figures are not only illegal but also pose a serious threat to our democracy and the safety of our society as a whole.
As the investigation into these threats continues, the sheriff’s office is asking for the public’s cooperation and assistance in locating the suspect. By working together, we can help ensure the safety and security of all individuals involved and prevent any potential harm from occurring.
