From 12news.com: (WARNING: Some details below describe graphic details).
Mitchel Cole Stokes is wanted in Maricopa County for violating his probation.
Stokes is a registered sex offender and, according to his former probation officer, a "predator" who is a danger to the community.
On June 27, 2002, Stokes broke into a 14-year-old girl's bedroom in the middle of the night, according to court records. Documents show he stood over her bed as she slept with his pants down to his ankles and masturbated.
She woke up and started screaming, court records say. That's when Stokes attempted to silence her by covering her mouth. She fought back and Stokes ran away.
Court records also show Stokes has repeatedly failed to attend sex offender therapy and treatment, and has had his probation revoked in the past.
In 2015, Stokes assaulted his girlfriend. Records show he punched her in the face 10 times, pushed her into the shower door, and pushed her to the ground three times. He was convicted in the case. His girlfriend told investigators he said she reminded him of his ex-wife, who he wanted to kill.
Maricopa County Adult Probation says Stokes recently absconded.
In January, his probation team said he bought a computer, has been on the Internet and has been around children. They also found he was in possession of two rifles, a convicted felon who is a prohibited possessor.
They have not been able to locate Stokes. A warrant has been issued for his arrest.
Stokes is described as a 34-year-old white man. He is 6-foot tor 6-foot-1 and weighs 220 to 230 lbs. Stokes has blue/hazel eyes and blonde or brown hair, though he has been known to shave his head.
If you know his whereabouts you're urged to call Silent Witness at (480) Witness.

Thoughts? I put 2017 with a questioning mark since the March 2017 article only said he went missing" recently" but in any case since 12news.com is pretty good at updating they're stories, I'm assuming Stokes is unfortunately still at large as of this posting date (7/18/2017). If anyone has any updates, please feel free to let us know.
