Yazoo County law enforcement is asking the public to help locate Anthony Russell, wanted on charges of felony fleeing and disorderly conduct, the Yazoo County Sheriff’s Office said in a social media post Wednesday.

The office said anyone caught riding with Russell or harboring him could face arrest alongside him and urged Russell to turn himself in. The post provided a tip line at 662-746-0014 for anyone with information.

The sheriff’s office described Russell as about 5-foot-9 and 185 pounds and said he has recently cut his hair to a lower, clean style, according to the post. The office did not provide additional details about the alleged incidents in the post.
