BREAKING – Search On For Tishomingo County Escapees

PRESS RELEASE

IUKA, MS June 14, 2017:  On June 14, 2017 at approximately 1:00 am, two inmates have escaped from the Tishomingo County Jail.  26 year old Jonathan Hamm and 23 year old Isaac Bennett fled the jail early Wednesday morning.

 

A Correction Officer spotted the two inmates while doing a perimeter check of the outside of the facility.  It appears that the inmates were able to force open an outside door and once out the door, the inmates scaled the fence and it appears one of the inmates was cut from the fence.  The escapee’s then ran down the railroad tracks and were able to steal a white 1995 FORD F-150 pickup truck.  The Tishomingo Sheriff’s Department also notified the Mississippi Department of Corrections due to both the escapee’s being on probation with the MDOC.  The escaped inmates are not considered “DANGEROUS”, but the Tishomingo Sheriff’s Department would advise anyone that comes in contact with these escapee’s, to notify their local law enforcement agency or simply dial 911
