Richard Ismael Chassaigne, 52, is being sought after officials say he failed multiple drug tests and skipped required urinalysis screenings.
According to federal authorities, Chassaigne was previously sentenced to 66 months in federal prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Following his release, he was placed on a three-year term of supervised release. Deputies report that he subsequently submitted several drug tests that were positive for cannabinoids and cocaine and later failed to provide multiple required samples.
Chassaigne is described as 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing approximately 160 pounds. He has several distinguishing tattoos, including his last name across his upper back, a rabbit on the back of his right shoulder, and additional tattoos on his neck and chest. Officials caution that fugitives may attempt to alter their appearance.
