Buckley IV in Lexington, KY who is on the loose while he was out on bond after being convicted of raping his girlfriend. Apparently, he cut off his ankle monitor and dashed off into the wilds.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Buckley&#8217;s training as an Army Ranger &#8220;gives him the ability to engage in defensive and combative tactics at a very high level,&#8221; Roberts said. &#8220;As such, we do not want citizens to independently approach him or try to take him into custody. If you see him, call 911 immediately.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When Buckley was arrested, Bradbury said, police confiscated multiple weapons, including a handgun, an assault rifle and a shotgun. Buckley also had body armor and a stockpile of ammunition, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Court documents say Buckley suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. Court documents say Buckley kept a scrapbook with photos of the people he had killed &#8220;over there&#8221; and showed them to friends.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The good folks at the Ranger Training Brigade have verified to us that he is indeed Ranger qualified, in fact, they were impressed that he hadn&#8217;t failed any of his patrols at the school. So this probably isn&#8217;t going to end well at all for anyone. Just reading the article gives the impression that the police are rightly concerned about what will happen if they run into him. According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kentucky.com\/2012\/07\/13\/2257601\/lexington-man-wanted-for-leaving.html#storylink=cpy\">Kentucky.com<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Because of his violent past, authorities were concerned Buckley might try to harm victims, detectives and prosecutors who were involved in his case.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He blames the police department for his criminal acts; he blames the commonwealth&#8217;s attorneys office,&#8221; Bradbury said. &#8220;He blames everyone but himself.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple of you have sent us links to this story about John C.
