An Abbeville man was arrested recently after allegedly attempting to flee from Lafayette County sheriff’s deputies when he was being pulled over.

According to reports, at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 21, a deputy was attempting to pull over William David Pettit, 41, of Abbeville for a traffic stop; however, Pettit drove off from the deputy and ended up turning into a residence on County Road 139. Pettit exited the vehicle and ran.

The deputy pursued Pettit, caught him, and placed him in custody.

Pettit was transported to the Lafayette County Detention Center where he was charged with felony fleeing, DUI 4th or greater, and several misdemeanor offenses.

His bond has not been set due to charges pending with the Mississippi Department of Corrections.
