This morning, they found the car.
But the driver is still on the run.
College Park Police on Friday said they found the Pontiac G-6 that they say Willie Lee Wilson III used to try and run over two of their officers in February.
“We saw a car with bad engine problems going down the road,” College Park Lt. Reed Pollard told the AJC on Friday.
They found the car in a secluded wooded area off of Jonesboro Road.
But Wilson, who is wanted on two counts of aggravated assault on a police officer, was nowhere to be found.
Police said they saw him trying to steal wheel rims off of a car at the Southern Heights complex around daybreak of Feb. 24.
He got in the Pontiac and drove off, hitting at least one of the police officers as well as a College Park police car.
Officers shot at the fleeing man, but it's unclear whether he was hit.
Police say he should be considered armed and dangerous.
