Officials ask residents to not approach the inmate and contact local 911 or the sheriff’s department if spotted.
The other inmate, 22-year-old Casey Ridenour, was captured late Monday night. The two individuals escaped custody from the Fentress County Jail Monday morning around 8 a.m.
The two stole a Correctional Officers vehicle to escape the facility and later switched to a Red Dodge Challenger, which lead to a high speed pursuit. The vehicle turned onto Delk Street located off Hwy 127 when the individuals left the vehicle and continued on foot.
