ST. GEORGE, Utah -- The St. George Police Department is seeking a suspect who allegedly assaulted another man on Saturday, and police say the suspect should be considered armed and extremely dangerous.

The victim, a 31-year-old male, was transported via life-flight helicopter to Las Vegas for treatment. His condition is serious.

Lucero is wanted for questioning in the assault investigation, and a $50,000 cash-only warrant has been issued for his arrest.
