(Oroville, CA) – The Butte County Sheriff’s office reports that the search continues for 25-year-old George Wright of Oroville. Wright escaped on foot after a deputy spotted him driving on Table Mountain Boulevard at Cherokee Road, at around 6:00 Saturday morning, and attempted to pull him over, as he has several felony arrest warrants for being a prohibited person in possession of firearms & ammunition, and evading law enforcement.

True to form, Wright sped off, drove through a gate on Big-O Road and disabled his pickup in an attempt to drive off a retaining wall. He ran, and had yet to be apprehended as of the time of a BCSO media release Saturday afternoon.
