Man sought in homicide probe

Police in Johnson County are searching for Robert Wayne Baker in connection with a homicide Friday.

Baker is a 29-year-old white man, according to the Johnson County sheriff's office.

"Baker is considered to be armed and dangerous!" the sheriff's office posted on its Facebook page. "Do not attempt to approach this subject. ... If you see this subject, call 911 immediately."

Sheriff Jimmy Stephens couldn't be reached for comment Monday.

Elizabeth Chapman, a spokesman for the Arkansas State Police, said the agency is assisting in the investigation, but any other information would have to come from the sheriff's office.

The sheriff's office hadn't issued a news release as of Monday afternoon, and the name of the victim hadn't been released.
