A man who evaded authorities from the Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office by running into Luxapalila Creek has been captured and is being held at the Lowndes County Adult Detention Facility.
According to Ryan Rickert with the Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office, Frank Rice was having an argument with a woman in the middle of Pickensville Road Tuesday when a deputy from LCSO stopped. Rice ran into the creek.
The woman Rice was with said Rice was wanted by the Mississippi Department of Corrections, most likely for violating parole, Rickert said.
Officers found Rice at a residence on Pickensville Road Thursday morning.
