FLORENCE, Ala. (AP) — Authorities issued an arrest warrant Monday for a corrections official who they say helped an inmate arrested on a murder charge escape from an Alabama jail even as they searched for the pair.
The inmate, Casey Cole White, 38, disappeared Friday after he left the Lauderdale County Detention Center in Florence, Alabama, on Friday morning with Vicky White, the facility’s assistant director of corrections. They have not been seen since.
Vicky White told co-workers she was taking the inmate to the courthouse for a mental health evaluation. But Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton later said no such evaluation was scheduled.
“Casey White, as you’ve heard me say over and over and over is an extremely dangerous person & we need to get him located & get him off the street,” Singleton said Monday at a press conference.
Authorities noted his large size. He stands 6 feet, 9 inches tall & weighs about 260 pounds.
U.S. Marshal Marty Keely said Casey White “will stand out” even if he is has changed his appearance.
The 38-year-old White was already serving a prison sentence for attempted murder & burglary & was set to go to trial next month for the stabbing death of a a 58-year-old woman to death, a charge in which he would face the death penalty if convicted. The U.S. Marshals Service is offering up to $10,000 for information.
Singleton said Monday that they had issued an arrest warrant for Vicky White on charges of permitting or allowing an escape. She is not related to the inmate.
“We know she participated, whether she did that willingly or if she was coerced, threatened somehow to participate in the case, not really sure. We know for sure she did participate,” Singleton said.
