NORTH PORT, Fla. – North Port Police are still looking for a suspect who ran away from officers Thursday.

Police say 41-year-old Robert Harrelson is wanted on several drugs and weapons charges out of Charlotte and DeSoto counties.

Several crews were searching for him Thursday after he fled from officers on foot, but police believe he is no longer in the area.

Friday they say they asked his family to persuade him to turn himself in peacefully.

If you see him, call 911.
