JACKSON, Tenn. -- Union University in Jackson, Tennessee, was placed on lockdown Monday and officers were seen nearby as the search continued for Austin Drummond, the man wanted in a quadruple murder in West Tennessee.

Several officers were seen blocking streets near Pleasant Plains Extension and Oil Well Road on Monday morning. The location is just a couple of miles from where Drummond's vehicle was found Friday.

The Jackson Police Department urged residents in the Pipkin Road and Pleasant Plains Road areas to review all doorbell and security camera footage beginning at 10 a.m. Monday.

Police said they were looking for video that may assist in the Austin Drummond case, and they asked anyone with relevant footage to call 731-425-8400.

Drummond has been on the run since last Tuesday, when the bodies of four family members were found in Lake County. His car was found in Jackson Friday and law enforcement thinks he could be in the area.

A third person has also been arrested and charged with Accessory After the Fact to First Degree Murder, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.

She has been identified by TBI as Dearrah Sanders.

The U.S. Marshals Service filed documents on Friday saying Drummond had possibly fled the state of Tennessee.

It has been a week since Drummond has been on the run.

USMS also announced that they will now pay up to $10,000 for information that leads to Drummond's arrest. TBI and USMS had previously announced rewards of $7,500 each for information; the increased total reward is now $17,500.

Drummond is wanted on several charges, including first-degree murder and aggravated kidnapping in the deaths of four Dyer County family members whose bodies were found Tuesday, after an infant relative was found abandoned in front of a house.

Two men were arrested Saturday and charged as accessories after the fact.
