A 19-year-old Indiana man escaped from an inmate transportation company in Falls County early Tuesday morning and remained on the run about 15 hours before authorities captured him in Marlin, Falls County Sheriff Ricky Scaman said.

The transport company vehicle pulled into the Falls County Jail at about 2:45 a.m. and dropped off about three inmates and was scheduled to pick up six men, Scaman said. One of the six inmates scheduled for pickup, Guy D. McClead, 19, of Goshen, Indiana, was handcuffed and shackled with the other inmates before he escaped from the van, he said.

“We have contracts with several counties and we contract with several transport companies who come through and drop off people or pick them up depending on their routes that go across the whole country,” Scaman said. “The company signed all their guys out, booked all six of them out and in the sally port, the transport employees, for whatever reason, went to the front of the van as the inmates went to get in the van.”
