Several days ago, E.G. Lofton took a Ford car in or near Wilson and drove it in the direction of Williamston. A reward was offered for his arrest and the return of the car.
The local police authorities were notified and began a search for the law violator. Monday night they found that Lofton was in a hotel in Washington. Chief Manning drove over to Washington this morning and carried him to the police station. Lofton is a 20-year-old boy and helped in the street grading of the local streets last year. He has visited Williamston very frequently since he left here and on several occasions he gave bad checks.
