Officers say they have taken out warrants for the arrest of 23-year-old Richard Henry Ames III.

Investigators say Ames was last seen in Greenbrier County, West Virginia.  According to NBC affiliate WVVA in Bluefield, W.Va., investigators received a call Wednesday night that Ames was hiding in the Marfrance area.  When deputies from the Greenbrier County Sheriff's Office went to serve a warrant, they say Ames ran off from a home.

The search went on overnight on and around Anjean Road, past Rupert, W.Va. The search picked up this (Thursday) morning in the Duo, W.Va. area.
