Forsyth Authorities Capture Fugitive in Alpharetta - Alpharetta-Milton Patch
A 45-year-old man, wanted by at least three counties on various charges, turned himself into authorities Thursday afternoon in Alpharetta.
Kennie Askew of Lithonia was arrested by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office Warrant Unit at approximately 2 p.m., a press release stated.
Capt. Tim House of the FCSO said earlier in the week that Askew was wanted by authorities in Cobb County for traffic violations and in Gwinnett for probation violation.
In Forsyth County, Askew has been charged with obstructing law enforcement officers and driving with a suspended license after fleeing from a Milton police officer in the Bridle Ridge subdivision located off Highway 141 in south Forsyth Tuesday night. That led to a manhunt for the fugitive with assistance of K9s and a helicopter by the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office.
According to Sheriff Ted Paxton, Askew was apprehended after investigators contacted the wanted man's family and they had Askew contact the deputies. Following a conversation with Capt. Chris Barrett, Askew agreed to turn himself in and was arrested without incident.
