2 of 3 Inmates Who Escaped Lincoln County Jail Apprehended

Lincoln County

 

 Officials say two of three inmates who escaped the Lincoln County Jail have been apprehended.

Sheriff Charles Dougherty told reporters Thursday that 23-year-old Brian Allen Moody and 23-year-old Mark Dwayne Robbins are back in custody while 41-year-old Sonny Baker remains at large and is possibly armed.

Details of the arrests were not immediately released.

Authorities say three escaped the jail in Chandler about 11:30 p.m. Thursday by going through the jail's ventilation system and climbing over a wire fence.

Authorities say each inmate had been in custody for property crimes.

They are suspected of fleeing in a pair of pickup trucks stolen in Chandler, including one with a gun inside. Investigators say they then drove to Midwest City, where police say they used debit cards left in a truck.
