Was this correctional officer physically qualified to handle prisoner trasnfers? Equality for the sexes is one thing, but I often wonder if PC gets us in trouble when we put people in positions that they are not truly qualified to handle.
Did take his hostage’s car? Did he have a weapon? More details! Something’s amiss in Fayette County Jail, me thinks. I bet this guy is a 3-time loser - thus the escape episode. There’s more to this story than we’re being told.
Wife came home from her 911 job this morning telling me to look out as she was on the listening end all night. Looks like he went West-Northwest instead of Southeast as they were expecting.
EVERYONE keep a sharp eye out!
He looks sort of like the guy in the “magician” photo two posts down…Maybe that’s how he got the keys…
Rough lQQkin customer - keep all eyes well peeled folks!
Face without a soul. Wonder what he’s done that we don’t even know about.
They caught him. Robbed 2 banks this morning in College Station. FBI got involved — Back to the slammer for him with more charges than I am sure he will ever want to deal with!
Hope they have more qualified people transporting him this time!
Busy little bee, wasn’t he?
Hope he stole at least 35 cents to cover his one phone call
