MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The U.S. Marshals Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force is offering a reward for information leading to the arrest of two escaped inmates fron the Dyer County Jail.
The agency said anyone who can provide information leading to the arrest of Michael Deshon Bolden and Antonie Lakeith Thomas will be eligibile for up to $2,500 for each fugitive.
The pair reportedly “over powered” a correctional officer during inmate count, left the building, scaled the 16-foot razor wire fence and escaped on Sunday.
The sheriff’s office says evidence left behind at the scene suggests they were cut by the fence as they made their escape. The officer was treated for his injuries.
Dyer County officials say an inmate named Jashawn Branch was also involved in the escape but was apprehended by deputies on Fair Street Sunday morning after a deputy saw him trying to enter a home in the area.
The sheriff’s office says Bolden and Thomas have a history of assault and robbery charges.
Anyone who sees them or has information on their whereabouts is asked to call 911 or Crime Stoppers at 731-285-TIPS (8477).
