"Before we considered him armed and dangerous now we know he's armed and dangerous,” said Deputy Robert Clark of the U.S. Marshals Service.

Marshals confirm he allegedly broke into a relative's home and stole three guns, and also left a note for the marshals and his family members. The contents of the note are not yet being released.

"We ask the public just to be diligent, anything out of the ordinary that they see,” Clark said. “Something as little as a bicycle being stolen from the property, please call 911.”
