Checkpoints To Catch Suspected Murderer

There was a massive manhunt Friday night in Prichard to find William Kidd.
Prichard Police said earlier this month, Kidd shot two men, killing one and paralyzing the other.
Speaking of Kidd, Prichard Police Chief Lawrence Battiste IV said,"He ranks up there at the top of my chart in my four years as a chief here as one of our most violent offenders."
That's why U.S Marshals joined local police searching for Kidd.
They armed themselves with high powered weapons and bullet proof vests, setting up check points around an eight block area.
Battiste said, "We put together an operation to set up a perimeter to try to strangle off different locations where we believe Mr. William Kidd may have frequented in the last couple of days."
Authorities are also looking for a man named Tony Overstreet.
They said they had reports he associates with Kidd.
Battiste said Overstreet "has a number of felony charges, as well as misdemeanor charges against him, and we'd like to take both of these individuals in custody."
Along the way, authorities said they also arrested a number of people on outstanding warrants.
But Battiste said, "Our goal is to put Mr. Kidd in jail and, until he's in jail, we won't rest as a community of law enforcement."
Chief Battiste said police are giving a reward for anyone providing information that leads to Kidd being arrested.
He didn't say exactly how much, but that the reward was substantial.
