Man arrested for sho0ting mother of his child after 10-hour manhunt

 
A man has been arrested after allegedly sho0ting the mother of his child, bringing a dramatic 10-hour manhunt to an end.
 
The suspect was identified as Darian Berry Sr., 46, a convicted felon, according to the Butts County Sheriff’s Office.
 
The incident occurred on Tuesday morning, July 14,  in the city of Flovilla, roughly 50 miles south of Atlanta, officials said.
 
“He made the choice to run, but he could not outrun the determination of law enforcement or the incredible tracking ability of the bloodhounds that ultimately helped bring him into custody,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
 
Deputies first responded after reports of a domestic incident involving Berry.
 
According to his charges, Berry allegedly attempted to confine or restrict his victim. He was also accused of arson and stalking.

As deputies arrived, Berry allegedly fled on foot and was believed to be armed with a handgun, prompting a major search effort.
The Georgia community was further placed on a BOLO (“be on the lookout”) alert as authorities worked to locate the suspect.
Officials said the Georgia Department of Corrections K-9 Unit bloodhound played a key role in helping authorities locate Berry, who was taken into custody by Tuesday evening.
 
Berry now faces multiple charges, including aggravated assault, stalking, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, obstruction, two counts of arson, battery, family violence and false imprisonment.
