The Henry County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s assistance in locating Christian Hunter Thompson, who allegedly fled from a traffic stop early Sunday morning.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, Sheriff Aaron Brown attempted to stop a vehicle shortly after 2:30 a.m. near Northwest 250 Road and Northwest 351 Road.
Authorities said Thompson was a passenger in the vehicle and was wanted on active felony warrants from Henry County. During the stop, Thompson allegedly fled on foot, heading north into a heavily wooded area.
Deputy Napier, Deputy Stevens and other Sheriff’s Office personnel responded and searched the area but were unable to locate Thompson.
Thompson remains wanted on the outstanding felony warrants. The Sheriff’s Office said it will also seek a charge of resisting arrest in connection with Sunday morning’s incident.
