Austin police are asking for the public's help tracking down 30-year-old Chancellor Ivan Swiderski, who is wanted on a warrant for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Investigators list the warrant as number D1DC26302376 and describe Swiderski as about 6 feet 1 inch tall and 220 pounds. Capital Area Crime Stoppers says tips can be submitted anonymously and may qualify for a cash reward if they lead to an arrest.
APD 'Wanted Wednesday' Post
In a regular "Wanted Wednesday" bulletin, the Austin Police Department shared Swiderski's photo along with his outstanding warrant. The July 1, 2026 post urges anyone who recognizes him or knows where he might be to send in tips through Crime Stoppers, stressing that those tips can remain anonymous.
Crime Stoppers Listing And Tips
Capital Area Crime Stoppers lists "Chancellor Ivan Swiderski" as an active case, repeating the same warrant number and physical description from police and displaying the tip line 512-472-TIPS (8477). The organization notes that people whose information leads to an arrest may be eligible for up to $1,000 and that all tips are handled anonymously through its tip submission system.
What The Charge Means
Under Texas law, aggravated assault involving the use or exhibition of a deadly weapon is typically a felony that can bring serious prison time and fines. FindLaw explains that Texas Penal Code §22.02 generally classifies the offense as a second-degree felony, although certain circumstances can raise it to a first-degree charge.
What Remains Unclear
So far, neither the Austin Police Department post nor the Crime Stoppers listing includes details about the alleged incident behind the warrant or a specific location tied to the case, and both still show it as active. Anyone with information is asked to call 512-472-TIPS (8477) or submit an anonymous web tip through the Crime Stoppers portal.
