COLUMBUS, Miss. (AP) - Officials are still looking for a Mississippi man who ran away from a state trooper Sunday night.
Local news outlets report the search continued Monday for 37-year-old Kristopher Kellum.
Lowndes County Chief Deputy Greg Wright says the trooper responded to a disabled vehicle in a turn lane on U.S. 45. When the trooper pulled up to the car, a man fled into nearby woods.
Officials identified the man as Kellum, a Hamilton resident who is wanted for illegal possession of a gun by a convicted felon.
Law enforcement personnel used dogs and drones to look for Kellum on Monday but didn’t find him.
