When the deputies arrived, the suspect, Antoine Craine, had left in a 1997 grey Nissan. At 8 a.m. a Gurdon Police officer found the car between two houses on Jones Street. After a four-hour search, Childres and officer Garry Marshal went to an apartment on South Second Street, where they found Craine. Craine gave up without a fight.
