A man accused of shooting at his wife's vehicle is on the run after he armed himself with three guns during a car chase in Jackson County.

Alton Scott Durham

Law enforcement agencies have been looking for Alton Scott for about a month due to multiple misdemeanor and felony warrants for his arrest in Jackson and DeKalb counties. Jackson County deputies spotted Durham on Saturday at around 6:30 p.m. in the Rosalie community on County Road 461 as he was trying to fix a stolen truck. Chief Deputy Rocky Harnen said Durham then jumped in the truck and sped off.

Deputies pursued the vehicle for about a mile before Durham stopped the truck.

Harnen said Durham then got a SKS-type rifle, a shotgun and another gun in a case out of the vehicle and ran into the woods. No gunfire was exchanged and no one was harmed during the pursuit, Harnen said.

"We have heard from witnesses that he has told people he's going to kill the cops," Harnen said.

Deputies are trying to stop that from happening. Durham is considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached if seen in your area. Please call either the Jackson County Sheriff's Office at 256-574-2610, or the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office number at 256-845-380.
