It appears the hunt for two escapees from the Hinds County Detention Center has ended.
Local law enforcement agencies have reportedly captured Montreal Anderson, 25, and John Gregory Rollins, 23, who escaped Monday morning with two other men. Anderson and Rollins were the final two to be captured.
“The two suspects stole a Ford F150 from Obie’s Chevron, 6oo Hwy 80W, in Clinton, a witness called 911 and a BOLO was put out on the description of the vehicle,” Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesman Eric Henry said. “Cpl. Stewart with the MHP was in the Bolton area on Interstate 20 when he saw the vehicle. He got behind the vehicle, called for backup and a high-speed chase ensued.”
The capture of both men happened around 2:45 p.m. Friday on U.S. 61 North near Oak Ridge Road after a high speed chase involving Clinton Police, Edwards Police, Mississippi Highway Patrol, Vicksburg Police, the Warren County Sheriff’s Office and Federal Marshalls.
Both suspects were captured at the old OK Cars location. One suspect was located in the building and apprehended with the help of a Warren County Sheriff K-9 officer. The other suspect was captured in a field behind to the lot.
