Two inmates were arrested last Tuesday for aiding in the escape of Darryl Beckem, but Beckem has not yet been found. Terry Jerome Bindon, 28, 13 Albert Road, and Shawn Thomas Noble, 18, 2 Purnell Hill, were charged with aiding escape. The two men allegedly helped Beckem remove wiring from the bottom of a fence in the city jail exercise yard last Saturday morning. Beckem proceeded to crawl under the fence and escape while the jailer on duty was inside the building. Beckem was arrested May 28 on charges of armed robbery, kidnapping and car jacking following a May 23 incident. Police Chief Mike Mullins said they had received several calls but had not located Beckem. Beckem was arrested after allegedly pointing a gun at a man on Broadway Street and forcing him to drive onto Briel Avenue where Beckem and another man took less than $50 from the victim. They then forced the man to drive to Bluff Street where they fled on foot. Charges against Beckem now include armed robbery, kidnapping, carjacking, possession of cocaine, possession of a concealed weapon by a convicted felon, malicious mischief and felony escape. The jailer on duty last Saturday was responsible for the six men in the exercise yard and was to stay in the yard at all times. Mullins said he would be disciplined according to policy for leaving the area. |
