A 32-year-old Springhill man involved in a single-vehicle rollover crash on 7th Street SW was arrested Sunday after authorities discovered he was wanted in another state.
Anthony D. Dillard was checked by emergency medical services at the scene and cleared of any injuries. During a routine identification check, officers discovered that Dillard was wanted out of Lafayette County, Arkansas, on charges of possession of a firearm by certain persons and theft by receiving.
Dillard was taken into custody and transported to the Springhill Police Department for booking. The Lafayette County Sheriff’s Office was notified of the arrest and coordinated with authorities to transfer Dillard to Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center (BDCC). Arrangements are being made for his extradition to Arkansas.
All subjects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
