One Escapee Captured In Molino; Second Escapes Friday, Now Captured
April 4, 2008
One escaped inmate is back in custody and another is on the run after a second unrelated escape.
Escambia County Sheriff’s deputies have apprehended Timothy Smith, 25, who was reported missing from the Escambia County Road Camp in Cantonment.
Smith (pictured top left) was spotted by a work crew working near Highway 29 and Highway 97 in Molino about 1:30 Friday afternoon. They grabbed him and held him until deputies arrived.
Meanwhile, another inmate escaped from the Escambia County Jail about 12:30 Friday afternoon. Troy Major, who escaped with a sheriff’s department van, was captured trying to catch a bus at the Greyhound bus station in Pensacola about 3:45. Major (pictured bottom left) was being held on charges of grand theft and forgery.
Smith was discovered missing during a routine head count Thursday night about 9:30. It is believed that he may have escaped through or over a perimeter fence near the camp’s smoking area. Several holes were found in the fence.
Smith was being held on several charges, including a burglary charge. He was to have appeared in court Friday on that charge.
Both men are now back in the Escambia County Jail charged with escape.
