    ECSO put him on the Most Wanted List 4 days ago. He escaped from work release 1 day ago. May I ask how he could have been a fugitive when he was quite obviously in custody at that point? Does ECSO not check to see if these people are in custody in neighboring counties? Was he in custody at the time he failed to appear in court?

    I don’t know this guy, and apparently I don’t want to, but this story doesn’t completely add up.

    @beautiful disaster stop defending him, “he made mistakes like so many others” yeah? and he keeps making them, big heart or not he is a criminal and now an escaped convict, he belongs in prison where he should be. Says a lot of someones character that keeps defending guys like this, you are only as good and reputable as the people you hang with.

    To The Viewer: Christopher Blake Moye is not a bad person.. In fact he has one of the biggest hearts ive ever seen.. He’s made mistakes like SO many others have.. I’m not saying the things he done was right.. But I didn’t hear you say anything about this other guy.. They were both in the wrong and I pray they both get their life together..

    Christopher Moye was on the Century’s Most Wanted 6 Fugitives that was on Northesacambia the beginning of the week for failure to appear. So now he is wanted in Florida and Alabama if they can catch that crook..Thank You Northescambia for staying on top of the news that how we all help law enforcement put them behind bars
