Manhunt underway in Crittenden near WMA

Update:  A suspect was apprehended and questioned by authorities on on Ky. 365, but Sheriff Wayne Agent said it turned out to be the wrong man. The real suspect wanted by Union County authorities was apparently not in the area. The mixup occurred when the suspect that was indeed apprehended realized law enforcement was chasing him. He apparently had a warrant in an unrelated matter and took off trying to elude police, leading the subsequent manhunt.

Original post
Law enforcement in Union and Crittenden counties are in the northern part of Crittenden County near the Big Rivers Wildlife Management Area searching for a Union County man who is wanted in that county.

The suspect, who has a significant criminal history, is believe to be potentially dangerous. He was last seen swimming across the Tradewater River into Crittenden County.

The search area is between Ky. 365 and Graingertown.
