The Polk County Sheriff's Office is searching for a man wanted on a felony family violence charge who is also suspected in an aggravated robbery, and deputies are warning residents across the East Texas county not to approach him. Bobby Cedars is considered armed and dangerous, and authorities say he may be behind the wheel of a black Dodge Caliber bearing Texas license plate 5ZJNM.
According to kfdm.com, the sheriff's office is actively searching for Cedars in Polk County, Texas, and has flagged him as wanted on a felony family violence charge while also tying him to the aggravated robbery case. The agency has not released additional details about either underlying incident, but the dual allegations appear to be driving the urgency behind the search.
Armed and Dangerous Warning
Deputies believe Cedars is armed and dangerous, and they are urging the public not to approach him under any circumstances, the same report states. Anyone who spots Cedars or his suspected vehicle is instead asked to contact law enforcement immediately rather than attempting to approach or confront him.
The case was also covered by 12News, which reported the same details about the felony family violence charge and the aggravated robbery suspicion tied to Cedars. Neither outlet has indicated whether Cedars has been located or taken into custody since the search began.
How to Report a Sighting
The Polk County Sheriff's Office is asking anyone with information to call (936) 327-6810. Tips can also be submitted anonymously through P3Tips.com, the P3 app, or Polk County Crime Stoppers at (936) 327-STOP, and tipsters may be eligible for a cash reward if their information leads to an arrest.
With Cedars still unaccounted for and considered a threat, investigators are leaning on the public to help close the gap. For now, the sheriff's office says the priority is simple: spot him, report him, and let deputies handle the rest.
