Three men have escaped an Alabama county jail after attacking a jailer early on Saturday morning, a local sheriff said.
Two of the escapees are men charged with murder, while the third was being held on armed robbery charges.
According to Choctaw County Sheriff Tom Abate, the three were locked down together in a single cell at around 2:00 a.m. when one man began screaming, saying one of them was very sick. When the jailer look through the porthole and saw someone vomiting, he opened the cell door.
The inmates attacked the jailer when the door opened, stealing his keys and cell phone before fleeing on foot, Abate said.
Local authorities used tracking dogs to follow the inmates about a quarter mile down State Highway 17 in Butler, Alabama. The group was either picked up there or had a vehicle waiting for them, Abate said.
The escapees have been identified as Demarcus Woodward, 23, for allegedly fatally shooting a work release inmate and Gemayel Culbert, 32, for being involved in the killing of two people at a private club in northern Choctaw County. The third inmate is Terrell Gordon, 23, who is charged with armed robbery for a theft at a convenience store theft.
