The warrant stems from an incident in which officials say happened on Sunday. When approaching a camper where Hersey stays to serve a warrant, they say he fled into the woods. Officers noticed several one step meth labs and meth precursors.
Also located at the scene was a loaded .22 caliber handgun, which Hersey was not permitted to have due to his criminal history.
“This man already had a warrant for his arrest, and he ran. Now he’s facing more charges. His last attempt to evade authorities didn’t last very long, and we hope information from the public can make sure he’s behind bars soon,” says Sheriff Colan Harrell.
Hersey has been previously arrested on a meth charge.
