The Floyd County Prison inmate, who took off around 1:30 p.m., has been identified as 41-year-old Jack Belcher, originally from Loganville. “There's numerous possibilities to where he might be, but we don't have anything concrete at the moment on his whereabouts,” Maynard said. According to David Jackson, deputy warden in charge of security at the prison, Belcher was serving his sentence after his conviction on charges of possession of methamphetamines, impersonating another individual and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. According to Jackson, Belcher fled from a work detail near the Blossom Hill water treatment plant by driving off in a city of Rome work truck. According to a Rome police report, Belcher asked to use the restroom at the water treatment plant, and a few minutes later, a correctional officer heard squealing tires as Belcher fled. The vehicle was described as a white 2002 Ford F-150 pickup with green Rome Water Department logos on the side and a government license plate of 167102. Belcher is described as a white male, approximately 5-feet-7-inches tall and weighing around 160 pounds, with dark hair and a mustache.Read more.
