Authorities are still looking for a man wanted on outstanding warrants who ran from lawmen Sunday afternoon in Colbert.

According to the Bryan County Sheriff’s Office, Charles Brandon Lyde, 18, is wanted on warrants for drug possession and he is also a suspect in numerous automobile thefts.

Late Sunday afternoon, Lyde was seen getting into a Trans Am traveling toward Colbert on Highway 91, according to a report by Deputy Tim McEachern.

McEachern and Colbert Police Chief Wayne Vanscoy saw the vehicle turn onto Cardinal Lane in Colbert, and Vanscoy activated his emergency lights.

The driver of the vehicle, April Winnett-Hampton, 33, was arrested, and she was charged Monday with harboring a fugitive.
