A Decatur County (Ga.) Jail inmate attempted to escape Sept. 23, but was quickly found at the jail site and taken back into custody. The inmate, identified as Enrique Correa, 22, of 100 Russ St., Bainbridge, was reported as unaccounted for at about 10:40 a.m. Sheriff's Department officers and jail employees began looking for Correa at the jail site and in nearby wooded areas. The department requested Bainbridge Public Safety officers to canvass the area leading from the jail, off Spring Creek Road, farther into the city. Sheriff's Department officials communicating over emergency dispatch radio frequencies expressed extra concern about the missing inmate because he had been placed in the jail to await trial on the charges of burglary and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Correa had been arrested on those charges earlier this month by BPS. Sheriff Wiley Griffin reported over the radio that he had found an orange-colored shirt worn by jail inmates that had been discarded on the roof of the jail. The inmate was found by Cpl. Vincent Edmond, who spotted Correa hiding underneath a sheet in the back of a pickup truck parked in a gated lot at the jail, Deputy Sheriff Jim Morris said. Sheriff Griffin came through the gate and helped subdue Correa, Morris said. Correa had apparently used the sheet to slip underneath razor wire on a fence within the compound, he said. That "exit" has now been fixed as part of a security review. |
