College Park police find car linked to assault on police
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.
