Police set up a manhunt last night to catch a Tennessee fugitive believed to have been spotted in Gordon county, but were unsuccessful.
Arthur Milks a fugitive wanted for escaping Henderson county sheriff’s deputies and a suspect in a Gordon county burglary and auto theft, was seen in the Plainville community on Tuesday, said Sheriff Mitch Ralston in a news release.
Police blocked the road and used blood hounds to try to catch Milks Tuesday night, but no one saw him, said Gordon county Chief Deputy Robert Paris.
The search was called off around 2 a.m. and police believe he has left the area, Paris said.
While police have no reason to believe Milks is armed, he should not be approached if he spotted, he said.
