Three Tennessee inmates escaped from a crowded Jackson County jail, and one was captured late last week, authorities said. Sheriff Kenneth Bean said that the three inmates -- Christopher L. Henry, 28, Ricky D. Paul, 26, and Joshua Earhart, 22 -- escaped early last week, after climbing up to a catwalk in the facility and breaking a window. Bean said he believed one of the inmates had someone, possibly a spouse, waiting to pick them up after they escaped. Authorities tracked them as they traveled south, Bean said, where Earhart was captured shortly afterwards. Authorities are still looking for the other two inmates in White County. Bean said that prison officials noticed their absence after about 10 minutes. He said one of the inmates blocked a security camera while the other two climbed to the catwalk. The three inmates were being held on drug and theft charges and don't have a history of violent crimes, the sheriff said. |
