Dougherty.
The search for Morgan continues in the area where he was last observed going into a cornfield, Dougherty said in a tweet.
Residents are asked to call 911 if they see anyone fitting Morgan’s description. Residents with other information may call (844) LCSO-TIP.
Morgan, 49, is white, five-foot, seven-inches tall, 200 lbs and has brown eyes. He was last seen wearing either a gray hoodie or a gray, long-sleeved T-shirt. He may also be wearing a gray baseball cap. Morgan is considered armed and dangerous.
