An inmate who escaped Friday from a Jerome County (Idaho) deputy remained at large Monday. Robert Dwayne Stephenson, 45, of Twin Falls, could be driving a late 1980s white Mazda SUV with no license plates, Sheriff Jim Weaver said. Stephenson was being held at the Jerome County Jail on a probation violation with a bond of $200,000, according to the Jerome County Sheriff's Department. Around noon on Friday, he was admitted to St. Benedicts Family Medical Center after complaining of severe abdominal pains. "We had a deputy on security there," Weaver said. "(Stephenson) went out of a window in the room. Exactly how he did it is still under investigation." As to the patient's ailments, Weaver said "It'd probably be a good bet he was faking it." Authorities have been searching since the suspect's escape around 9 p.m. Weaver said Stephenson probably has friends in the Twin Falls area, but that he could be anywhere. Stephenson's name has been entered into a national criminal database. "Wherever he goes a deputy or a police officer will make a stop, they'll run him through the database, at which point they'll get information that he's wanted," Weaver said. "The agency will verify that and he will be picked up." Stephenson is described as 6 feet 1 inch tall, 210 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. |
