-Athens, Ga
Police in three counties are trying to track down a man whose runaway escapades have caused quite a stir recently.
Joseph D. Jackson is the man authorities are looking for. He currently has charges that range from minor misdemeanors to theft by taking. However, there is one thing that Jackson is good at and that’s eluding authorities.
Neese-Commerce Road is the location Jackson was last seen by Hall County authorities.
Madison County police say that officers from Hall County were in the county investigating a stolen vehicle. They had Jackson listed as a possible suspect. When they came to interview Jackson they discovered that he had an outstanding warrant issued by the Jackson County Superior Court. Then, he was arrested.
Neese-Commerce Road is the area where Jackson got free from Hall County police. Next, he ran to a pasture and then ran into some woods where officers lost site of him.
Hall County authorities declined to comment saying that the investigation is ongoing. They also said that they do not want to release new information because it could jeopardize the current investigation.
If you have any information on Jackson’s whereabouts please call the sheriff’s office at (706)-795-2101.
