UPDATE :
Subject has been apprehended !!

Thanks for all the help we received in the apprehension of the subject that ran during a traffic stop!

We have been informed that rumors are circulating suggesting we are searching for the escapee from Calico Rock in the corn fields on Hwy 65 South towards Eudora. However, this is not accurate; we are actually searching for an unarmed individual who fled from a deputy during a traffic stop.
We do have help with the dogs from ADC and also Arkansas Game Fish in searching.

ACIC Field Agent and Field Services Manager Rhonda Ratterree made some site visits yesterday. She stopped in at Chicot County Sheriff's Department to visit with the Terminal Agency Coordinator (TAC) and found a new operator (well....maybe not all that new😜) at the ACIC Terminal. Sheriff and ACIC Vice Chairman Ron Nichols was pulling double duty yesterday by working the radio and terminal.

Sheriff, we thank you for your service to the State of Arkansas, the citizens of your county, and especially ACIC.
