Illinois State Police are updating the public concerning the ongoing search of a man who is wanted for aggravated battery with a firearm.

Police are still searching for Dracy “Clint” Pendleton after he allegedly shot a Mahomet police officer Saturday. Pendleton was last seen Monday morning wearing a black shirt, camouflage pants and boots. He has shaved his beard and trimmed his hair since the incident.
