The Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force is offering a reward for information which would lead to the capture of fugitive Christopher Johnson.

Johnson is wanted by the U.S. Marshals and the Cleveland Division of Police.  Johnson is wanted for domestic violence after a brutal attack against his pregnant girlfriend.  It is alleged that back in the middle of August, Johnson attacked his girlfriend beating her in the face with his fist and then retrieving a large pair of pliers and continuing the assault.  When the victim tried to flee she was slammed into the wall and thrown to the floor.  Johnson fled the scene on foot after the police arrived.

Both the girlfriend and the baby survived the attack.

Johnson is a 21-year-old black man standing approximately 6'00" and weighing 190 pounds.  He has black hair and brown eyes.  Johnson is believed to be hiding somewhere in the Cleveland area.  He also had a previous address near the 15200 block of Maple Park Dr. in Maple Heights.

If you have any information in reference to Christopher Johnson, please contact the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force at 1-866-4WANTED or Text keyword WANTED and tip to 847411 (tip411). Tipsters can remain anonymous and reward money is available.
