PORT ANGELES — Police have yet to locate a man who ran from them Thursday and prompted an hourlong lockdown of Stevens Middle School.

Port Angeles police are looking for Jesse Allen Eisenhower, 24, of Port Angeles who fled from authorities at West 12th and C streets Thursday morning.

Eisenhower is wanted on a state Department of Corrections warrant for escape from community custody, has a pay-or-appear warrant from Clallam County Superior Court and two failure-to-appear warrants in Kitsap County, according to the Clallam County Superior Court Clerk’s Office.

He might be in the Port Angeles area but has connections in other areas where he has warrants, Port Angeles Police Cpl. Josh Powless said Sunday.

He is described as being 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weighing about 125 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

Anyone who sees him or knows his whereabouts should call 9-1-1.

Those with information should call police at 360-452-4545, through the Anonymous Crime Tips links at the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office website, www.clallam.net/sheriff, or the Port Angeles Police Department website, www.tinyurl.com/pdn-anonymoustip.

Police received a report of suspicious activity at West 12th and C streets at 8:53 a.m., Smith said.

A police officer contacted a small group of people who were at the location. Eisenhower, who was part of the group and who was known to the officer, ran toward nearby Stevens Middle School at 1139 W. 14th St.

Eisenhower was seen on the school grounds. At the request of police, the school was put on modified lockdown for about an hour.

Police have said Eisenhower has been seen in the Port Angeles area since Thursday, but officers have not been able to contact him.
