GEORGETOWN, Ohio (FOX19) - Authorities continue the search for a Brown County inmate after he escaped from the jail for the second time in two months.
Hobert Roark, 40, escaped from jail a little before 7 p.m. Tuesday, according to Brown County Sheriff Gordon Ellis.
The sheriff says Roark got out by exploiting “a weakness in one of the security windows.”
An all-out search for Roark ensued. Authorities used K9s and aviation assets to search the area, but the inmate was not found.
