A suspect wanted by Burlington Police on assault charges was spotted napping in a Chatham County home on Monday.
Investigators from the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office continue to look for 19-year-old Adrien Tyron Hurley, of Chapel Hill Road, Burlington.
“Yesterday, a Chatham County resident on Bonlee Carbonton Road returned to her home to find someone sleeping in her bed,” the Sheriff’s Office said in a released statement. “That person matched the description of Hurley and he fled the residence on foot.”
As of four o’clock yesterday afternoon, officers were utilizing search dogs, K-9 units, and the NC Highway Patrol helicopter to search the area where Hurley was seen shortly after one o’clock Monday.
Chatham Central High School in Bear Creek was initially put on lock down due to the manhunt, before students were released, according to police.
Hurley is wanted by Burlington Police for felony assault charges. It is believed that Hurley fled from a Highway Patrol vehicle stop on Sunday afternoon in southern Chatham County on US 421.
Authorities say Hurley was last seen wearing pajama bottoms, no shirt or shoes. If you see Hurley, do not confront him. Please contact the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office or dial 911.
