Police still are looking for Donny Aaron and believe he may be hiding in an MMA gym.

Aaron, 42, is charged with domestic violence/battery and false imprisonment after an alleged incident this past month with his wife, Andrea Lee (9-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC). A close friend of the UFC women’s flyweight accused Aaron of burning her with a cigarette and choking her before she fought him off and fled their house. When police were called, he also fled.

After receiving multiple tips from the public, investigators have reached out to several gyms “associated with MMA community” and warned that anyone harboring the fugitive MMA coach can be charged with a crime, Shreveport (La.) police spokesperson Angie Willhite told MMAjunkie.

“I don’t know if people understand there are consequences to that,” Willhite said. “If they’re intentionally harboring this man, that’s against the law. You can’t do that, and I would certainly hope that wouldn’t be the case.”

Lee suffered minor injuries from the alleged incident, though police declined to verify the close friend’s witness report when it became public, citing privacy laws.

Initially, investigators believed Aaron may have fled to Georgia. Willhite said she didn’t know whether the warrants allow him to be extradited, but she said all local law enforcement agencies have been notified of his fugitive status and will pick him up if they make contact.

Meanwhile, police ask that anyone with information on Aaron’s whereabouts to call in to the agency’s anonymous tip line. Once police make an arrest, his case will move through the courts, starting with an arraignment and a plea.

“You can’t run from this forever,” Willhite said. “We’re going to find him eventually.”

Lee, 29, previously declined comment on the case and said she’s moving on with her career. The UFC today announced she’ll face Jessica Rose-Clark at UFC on FOX 31, which takes place Dec. 15 at Wisconsin Entertainment and Sports Center in Milwaukee, Wis.

“I’m trying to move forward with things for my family,” Lee said.

Aaron was a controversial figure in the MMA community prior to the alleged incident. Photographs of his Nazi tattoos went viral and prompted a public apology. He was convicted in 2009 of negligent homicide with a firearm after shooting an unarmed black man outside his home. While the verdict was still pending, he was charged with aggravated assault after an alleged incident involving his ex-girlfriend and her fiancé.

Aaron hasn’t posted on social media since the alleged incident with Lee, and his cell phone doesn’t accept incoming calls.
