What we know is that Lindsay, who earned the designation “armed and dangerous” in the alert, is wanted on a host of felony charges, including abduction and a protective order violation.

The alert from the ACSO advises that if you know Lindsay’s whereabouts or encounter him, do not approach him, call 911 immediately.
