Matt and I were like brothers at one time,He was a cool guy but then he got hooked on meth,We were best friends and then he just disappeared .we got busted for some minor stuff back then but nothing major got in a few bad fights ,I was there when he met his first wife and he was there when I met my now ex,I’m doing the whole marriage, mortgage,Car payments thing and he’s gonna grow old in prison. Drugs suck I’m glad I didn’t go harder than weed and alcohol!
To be on work detail he had to have already been sentenced. Idiot!!! Now he faces prison time for this new escape charge.
Mike J. He was on work details he was found only because of two things had his work detail county boots on and a tattoo on his back.
A hot shower and a meal followed by a good nights sleep he will be good as new !
How far can you get with no shoes? Walking barefoot on a flat road is one thing, but walking through the woods where he was probably hiding with ants, briars, etc is difficult. Not impossible, but difficult. Either he got to a house nearby or someone picked him up. Whoever helped him needs to be in jail also.
Santa Rosa should have him by the end of the day.
Check Atmore, that seems to be where all these escapees end up… ugh
We need the good old Chain gangs back with new electronic tracking.
