PHOENIX — A man whose last known address was in Arizona is accused of sending photographs of male genitalia to several Virginia state Senate staffers.

Virginia Capitol Police said Tuesday that they have obtained warrants charging Erik A. Johansson with sending obscene material.

Authorities are searching for the 50-year-old man, whose last known address was in Tucson.

Police said Johansson sent multiple emails containing pictures of genitalia to Senate staffers in December.

Police did not say why Johansson allegedly sent the pictures.
