CLEVELAND, Tenn. -- The Bradley County Sheriff's Office is looking for a man who punched a deputy in the face Saturday.

Sheriff Eric Watson said officers were on foot chasing David Paul Kadlec, who was wanted for violating probation, on Georgetown Road near the Meigs County line. He said Kadlec punched Deputy Tiffany Goodwin before escaping the pursuing officers.

Kadlec is 5 feet, 10 inches tall and weighs 175 pounds. Watson said anyone who sees him should call 911.

"We aren't sure if Kadlec is armed; however we consider him to be dangerous, in that if he will strike an officer, he certainly might seek to injure a private citizen," Watson said.
