Authorities were searching the woods and highways in areas adjacent to Norman
Ridge early Friday morning for a man who allegedly is wanted for parole
violations.
Allen Parsons and the Calhoun Sheriff's Department and State Trooper J. D. Hunt
were meeting officers with a search dog shortly before 1 a.m.
The dog was being taken into the wooded area.
The subject had reportedly been involved in an encounter with a probation
officer.
Reports indicated the man fled when officers arrived in the area.
Norman Ridge is located in an area between State Route 5 and Big Root and Rt. 16 at Five Forks. The ridge runs parallel to Yellow Creek.
