According to a post from the Sheriff’s Office, Michael Thorson, who has a felony probation warrant, is wanted in connection with multiple recent thefts and burglaries throughout Shawano and Marathon Counties.

A stolen vehicle that is believed to have been operated by Thorson was recovered Sunday afternoon in the Stockbridge-Munsee area, but law enforcement was unable to find him despite extensive efforts.
Thorson is to be considered armed and dangerous, as he is also linked to several burglaries involving firearms.
Deputies say a witness reported that Thorson is now clean-shaven and also has a shaved head. Anyone who knows Thorson’s whereabouts is warned not to approach him and is asked to contact the Shawano County Sheriff’s Office.
