On the afternoon of January 3, 2017, deputies went to a residence in Siracusaville to effect an arrest warrant for
36-year-old Dorian Kennedy on charges of domestic abuse battery by strangulation and simple assault. Deputies
collected evidence that Kennedy made threatening statements toward the female victim and law enforcement officers.
Kennedy's last known address is 1412 James Street. Deputies searched the residence. Kennedy was not located.

During a search of the area early this morning, deputies observed Kennedy near the intersection of Youngs Road
and Myrtle Road in Morgan City. Kennedy fled on foot. Deputies pursued him on foot. However, he was not
apprehended. Kennedy is actively evading capture. Detectives advise that there is a possibility that Kennedy may
still be in the Morgan City or Siracusaville areas.

The Morgan City Police Department is assisting in the case.
