FRANKLINTON -- Authorities issued an arrest warrant for a fleeing suspect that prompted emergency protocols at an elementary school on Wednesday.
Franklin County sheriff's investigators allege Kedric Hester, 32, of Butner, was a passenger in a vehicle that was stopped in Franklinton at about 1 p.m.
Hester ran from authorities heading south, which took him past a gas station, the post office and toward a mobile home park -- but not before he would have been in the area of Franklinton Elementary School.
