AGNESS, Ore. \u2014 A heavy police presence remains in the Agness area Wednesday as authorities continued searching for a wanted man believed to be armed and possibly dangerous, according to the Curry County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
The sheriff\u2019s office said Kenneth Leatherwood, of Bastrop, Texas, is wanted for sex-related crimes involving a minor, as well as a stolen vehicle and reported stolen weapons. Authorities emphasized Leatherwood is not on the FBI\u2019s top 10 most wanted list and is not wanted for murder charges.<\/p>\n
Leatherwood is described as a white adult male in his late 30s, about 5-foot-10 and 200 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes.<\/p>\n
Authorities said Leatherwood was last known to be wearing an ivory T-shirt, blue jeans and cowboy boots, and may have an Australian shepherd mix dog with him.<\/p>\n
The sheriff\u2019s office is urging the public not to approach or attempt to contact Leatherwood. Anyone who sees him is asked to contact the Curry County Sheriff\u2019s Office at 541-247-3242, option 9, or call 911 if it is an emergency.<\/p>\n
