Emergency officials are urging residents to take immediate safety precautions as law enforcement searches for an armed and dangerous suspect in Bradley County.

According to the Cleveland & Bradley County Office of Emergency Management, the wanted man was last tracked to the area near Paul Huff Parkway and Callen Lane NW in Cleveland.

The suspect is described as a 6-foot-1-inch male weighing approximately 230 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black shirt and black pants.

Public safety officials issued a direct warning to anyone living or traveling in the vicinity:

“Do not approach if seen, if you live in the area secure your property and do not answer the door for unknown persons.”

Anyone who spots the suspect or notices suspicious activity should call 911 immediately.

While emergency management released a mugshot without an official name, the photograph matches 2023 booking records for Deountray Shauntay Dickey. Records show Dickey is also currently facing charges out of nearby Hamilton County for domestic assault and theft of property stemming from an incident on June 14, 2026.

Law enforcement remains active in the area, and residents are advised to stay indoors and keep doors locked until further notice.
