Lawton Police Hunt for Man Facing Violence Threat Charges

The Lawton Police Department is actively searching for a wanted suspect, and they’re asking the community to keep their eyes open. Charles Brent Hodges, described as a white male standing 6 feet tall and weighing approximately 300 pounds, is the subject of an active Comanche County warrant for threats to perform an act of violence. The warrant, identified as CM2025-279, was filed in connection with these serious allegations.

What makes this search noteworthy is how the department’s investigation has evolved. Police initially posted about the case, then updated their original appeal after a member of the public provided a photograph—a reminder that community tips genuinely matter in helping law enforcement track down wanted individuals. That kind of collaboration between residents and police is often what closes these gaps.

The stakes here are clear: threats of violence aren’t taken lightly, and neither is the department’s effort to locate Hodges. However, authorities want to be equally clear about one thing—if you spot him, don’t approach. This isn’t the moment for civilian heroics. Instead, contact Emergency Communications at 580-581-3272. If you’d prefer to stay anonymous, Crime Stoppers of Southwest Oklahoma has a tip line at 580-355-INFO (4636).

These cases underscore a fundamental reality in policing: officers can’t be everywhere at once. They depend on the people who live and work in Lawton to be their extra set of eyes and ears. If you know where Charles Brent Hodges is, or if you’ve seen him around town, reaching out to authorities could help keep the community safer and bring this case to closure.
