Georgia authorities are considering a reward for information as the search for a woman seen on video beating another woman at a Little Caesars drags into a fifth day.
Brittany Kennedy, 25, allegedly beat Emily Broadwater, 22, at the restaurant in Augusta on Monday around 4 p.m. As of Friday, Kennedy is still on the loose, with authorities considering the possibility that she may have fled the area.
"When someone doesn’t want to be found, it’s going to take a little more effort to find them," Sgt. William McCarty of the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office told Fox News. "We are looking into the possibility that she has absconded the area."
McCarty said it was a "priority" to arrest Kennedy, and the department would look into enlisting assistance from other agencies in the hunt.
