Escaped Inmate Captured
September 27th, 2024 by Joe Burgess
On September 26, 2024 at 4:02pm Detainee Justin Evans (34) of Crossett was being brought back in from recreation when he proceeded to escape the Drew County Detention Facility. The method of escape was by two doors being propped open as State Inmates were working in the kitchen area. Evans was apprehended and taken back into custody by members of the Monticello Police Department and Drew County Sheriff’s Office at 4:07pm. Evans now faces additional charges of Escape in the First Degree.
I want to thank all of those involved in the apprehension of Evans. Although this is embarrassing I want to ensure you the people that we are taking the appropriate steps to make sure that this doesn’t happen again.
Respectfully,
Sheriff Tim Nichols
