The 51-year-old man is now the subject of an arrest warrant.
Angiyou is 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 144 pounds. He has a medium complexion, brown eyes, and black hair, though he is nearly bald.
A distinctive feature of the wanted man is that two of his fingers, his right middle finger and ring finger, have been amputated at the tips.
