SUMMARY: Officers are patrolling neighborhoods near Sumrall in search of a man who escaped custody after a traffic stop yesterday afternoon in Covington County. The man, Antwan Loftin, is wanted by law enforcement and charged with manslaughter in connection to a deadly shooting in another county last year. Loftin was found with drugs in his car after police tried to arrest him. Anyone with information on Loftin's whereabouts is asked to call the Covington County Sheriff. Officers are now patrolling the Rock Hill and Gates Bridge areas. Sheriff Perkins says the threat has been eliminated for now.

New details from law enforcement officials revealed that a wanted man in Covington County is the same man arrested for manslaughter in Jefferson Davis County.
