Police said Jackson could be driving a 2016 white Honda Civic with Georgia license plate RXF0384.

He is described as being 5-feet 8-inches tall and weighing around 165 pounds.

"Let me be crystal clear, we certainly will not tolerate any individual, regardless of who you are, coming to what we consider to be God's country of Henry County and harming any of our police officers in any kind of way," Henry County Sheriff Reginald Scandrett said during a press conference. "So Mr. Jackson whatever hole you're in, I assure you we're coming to find you, we will place you in custody and we will bring you to justice." 

This is an ongoing investigation. Officials say Jackson is considered a serious public safety threat and anyone with information on his whereabouts or location is urged to call 911.
