Pasco man headbutts deputy after Taser doesn't work, authorities say

If you see Thomas Lynch, the Pasco County Sheriff's Office wants you to call 911 right away.

Pasco County deputies are searching for a man they say head-butted a deputy and ran away.

Thomas Lynch is accused of doing it when deputies tried to detain him at 6:38 p.m. Monday.

Investigators say a deputy used a Taser -- but it didn't affect him.

Lynch is 5-foot-8 and bald, deputies say. He has multiple tattoos and was last seen without a shirt.

He has previously lived -- and could be -- in the general vicinity of Zimmerman Road and Allyson Street in Port Richey, according to law enforcement.

Authorities say he has an active warrant for meth possession and battery on a law enforcement officer.

Anyone who sees him should call 911 immediately. If you have an idea where he might be, call the Pasco County Sheriff's Office at 727-847-5878 or click here to submit an anonymous Crime Stoppers tip online.
