The Hardee County (Fla.) Sheriff's Office is searching for two inmates who escaped from the Hardee County Jail in Wauchula sometime after 7:30 p.m. Monday. "Our investigators are out talking with acquaintances, friends, families or anyone we think they communicated with from the jail," said Maj. Claude Harris. Anthony Layne Deboy, 22, of Naples and Ronald Dale Smith, 31, of Avon Park went to the recreation yard around 7:30 p.m. and were discovered missing around 8:45 p.m., Harris said. The men apparently put a table against the back wall, squeezed through razor wire to get to a storage shed roof and escaped from the roof. K-9 units immediately began tracking the escapees, warning neighbors and searching cars traveling near the jail. About 100 inmates are being held in the jail, which has a capacity of 176, Harris said. The last jail break in Hardee County happened after Hurricane Charley damaged the jail's roof on Aug. 13 providing an opening for one inmate. He was recaptured in a matter of days, Harris said. Deboy is white, 5-feet- 9-inches tall, and 165 pounds with brown hair and hazel eyes. He was serving time for violation of parole on a variety of theft charges and possession of pentazocine, a regulated drug. He had lived in Naples for about a year after moving there from Sebring. Smith is white, 6-feet tall, 220 pounds with brown eyes and brown hair. He had been charged with battery, assault and illegal possession of weapons. |
