Clackamas County Sheriff's Office deputies are actively searching for a wanted person identified as Daniel John Lee, age 31.

Lee has a prior residential address -- recently vacated -- on Northeast 115th in Vancouver, Washington. He is wanted by Sheriff's Office deputies for Resisting Arrest and Contempt of Court.

These arrest warrants are a result of a recent criminal investigation alleging that Daniel Lee violated a restraining order and violently resisted arrest at an Oak Grove residence in Clackamas County. On this occasion, it required multiple deputies to restrain Lee and take him into custody.

Daniel Lee is described as a "street preacher" who believes that God speaks through him.

Lee has reportedly been escalating his use of violent and threatening rhetoric -- which, is being channeled through Facebook, directed at Clackamas County officials.

Daniel John Lee, age 31, is described as follows:

Daniel Lee is believed to be driving a motor vehicle described as a light-blue Honda 2-door with a sun-roof and Virginia license plates reading similar to (but not exactly) KCD-1355.
