Armstrong Police Chief Wayne Willcox said he is working with officers across southeast Georgia to locate Tarter. Campus officials also distributed posters with his picture throughout the region.

Tarter is a white man who is about six feet tall and weighs between 140 and 155 pounds.

His vehicle was described as a white 2000 Nissan Frontier with Maine plates.
