Escaped Alabama Prisoners Caught In Escambia County

October 3, 2012

Two escaped Alabama prisoners were captured Tuesday night by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Marshals Florida Regional Task Force.

Jamie D. Morgan, 40, of Pensacola and Jeremy Hadden, 33, of Eight Mile, Ala.,  had escaped from the Elmore County Jail in Wetumpka, Ala, on September 18.  Officers spotted the duo in a stolen vehicle near Mobile Highway and Fairfield Drive and conducted a traffic stop at which time Hadden was taken into custody without incident. Morgan was taken into custody after a brief foot chase and struggle with officers.

Morgan was transported to a local hospital for treatment and later booked on charges of vehicle theft, resisting an officer, and an Alabama escape warrant. Hadden was arrested on an Alabama escape warrant. Both remained in the Escambia County Jail Wednesday awaiting extradition back to Alabama.
