HOUSTON COUNTY, Ga. — Houston County deputies are searching for a man who escaped custody after being pulled over for a traffic stop.
According to a Facebook post from the Houston County Sheriff's Office Traffic Division, Cherokee Graham was pulled over Saturday near Watson Boulevard at North Houston Road.
Graham pulled into a parking lot and fled from deputies on foot, the post says. He was arrested after a short chase.
