Errant is correct.  It has two meanings as an adjective:

1.  erring or straying from the proper course or standards.
"he could never forgive his daughter's errant ways"
synonyms:       offending, guilty, culpable, misbehaving, delinquent,
lawbreaking

2.  archaic/literary:  traveling in search of adventure.
"that same lady errant," "a knight errant"
synonyms:       traveling, wandering, itinerant, roaming, roving, voyaging

Apart from all of the above, my pet hate is mistakenly using ERRANT instead
of ERRING. ERRING means in error and ERRANT means on a mission (as in "A
Knight Errant"). I'm sure as children we all had to run ERRANDS (same root).
