Sequatchie County Sheriff Ronnie Hitchcock said this morning that Geoffrey Peterson, the man accused of abusing and hoarding more than 50 animals in Sequatchie County, is now wanted.
Peterson's bond for the charges of animal cruelty in Sequatchie County was revoked in General Sessions Court today.
Peterson also is wanted in Chattanooga for willful abuse and neglect of the elderly.
Peterson was a nurse but his license has been suspended.
Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is urged to contact the Sequatchie County Sheriff's Office, Chattanooga Police Department, or the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, and not approach Peterson, as he could possibly be armed, Hitchcock said.
