A man wanted by Seneca and Newton County authorities is in custody in Jasper County.

 38-year-old James Hebert III was found hiding in a shed and arrested around 8:00 p.m. Tuesday near I-44 and Prigmore Avenue, east of Fidelity.

 The incident began last Friday, when Hebert ran from a Seneca police officer. The officer wasn't looking for Hebert; the officer states that he turned on his lights when he saw a dog on the side of the road and pulled over to get the animal. Hebert was in the area, saw the lights, and left at a high rate of speed. The chase ended in a field, but Hebert was able to escape on foot.

 Hebert's extensive arrest record will now have charges of fleeing and resisting arrest added to it. More recent charges, including resisting arrest and tampering with a motor vehicle, were filed in April in Newton County.
