The Manatee County Sheriff’s Office is asking Tampa Bay area residents to be on the lookout for a man reported missing from Bradenton Wednesday night.

Deputies say Paulino Bonilla, 29, got into a physical fight with his live-in girlfriend at their 5120 14th St. W. home around 7:45 p.m. Bonilla is then accused of arming himself with a steak knife and threatening to hurt himself.

Bonilla took off from the home, still armed with the knife.

Deputies are searching for him and say he may be headed to the One Dot Apartments on 22nd Street in Tampa where some of his friends live.

“Should Paulino be seen, consider him armed and dangerous,” the sheriff’s office wrote in an email to media. Residents who see him are asked to call 911 immediately.
