"We need to get him off the streets," said officer Travis Sheppard of the Sunrise Beach Police Department, referring to Tom G. Rickey II.

In September, Rickey was arrested and charged with domestic assault and child endangerment after police say he tried to hit his former girlfriend with his car.

Court documents show police responded to the Sunrise Cantina in Sunrise Beach just before 5:00 on September 11.

There, police found a 22-year-old woman who said Rickey was her ex. She told police Rickey had threatened to travel to Harrison, Arkansas to harm them.

She sent him a photo from the Sunrise Cantina showing him they weren't in Arkansas.

Shortly after, the woman said Rickey showed up in his car and tried to hit the car she was in.

Police say Rickey forced them off the road. He then went to her car, pulled her head out of the window and hit her near the eye several times before running off.

He was arrested and bonded out of jail, but was required to wear a GPS tracking device.

"Those devices are programmed to where if someone tries to tamper with them, it sends an alert to the monitoring company. It had, to my understanding, a very brief alert, but then it charged as normal," said Camden County Prosecuting Attorney, Heather Miller. "They had no idea this wasn't working right until they went to the address where he was supposed to be, and he wasn't there. We've tried multiple times through the various features of that device to find him to no avail."

Now, Rickey is on the run and is believed to have connections in several different places across the state.

"We have reason to believe that he is in the Kansas City area hiding out. Where at, exactly, we're not sure," Sheppard said. "We have been working different avenues to try and locate him. he has connections in Kansas City and St. Joseph, but we're understanding he also has connections in Sedalia, Jefferson City, and possibly Springfield."

Rickey is 5-feet-7-inches tall, weighing about 220 pounds. He has dark brown hair and brown eyes.

Right now, both police and the prosecuting attorney believe he is planning to harm his former girlfriend.

"There have been sources, both within the victims in this case, relayed to them and relayed to different investigators that we believe are credible sources that state there are threats being made against the victims in this case." Miller added.

Sheppard believes getting word out to the public can help prevent those threats from actually happening.

"They're our eyes. We can't be everywhere."

Both police and the prosecuting attorney believe Tom Rickey Jr. is dangerous, so if you see him, do not approach, and call 911 immediately.
