Authorities Continue Search for Missing Inmates

Authorities are searching for two inmates that they say escaped through a two foot hole in their cell at the Fayette County Jail over the weekend. Chadwick R. Heath and Michael D. Roberts were noticed to be missing around 1:30 a.m. Saturday. Officers checked the inmates’ cell and found a 2' by 2' hole in both the interior and exterior walls and then notified the sheriff. A review of surveillance video showed the men escaping through that hole. Investigators believe the two could be in Dayton, Ohio, and said they are actively searching the area. Previously authorities reported the pair may have been driving a white 2015 Ford F350 dual-wheel utility truck. The vehicle was recovered in Dayton Sunday night with the keys in the ignition. The Fayette County Sheriff’s Department is offering a cash reward of $1,000 for any information that would lead to the apprehension of the escaped inmates.
