Melvin S Surratt, 35, of Godfrey, was charged March 5 with escape, a Class 3 felony.
Also on March 5, Justin D. Johnson, 43, listed as homeless out of Alton, was charged with escape, a Class 3 felony.
Both cases were presented by the Madison County Sheriff’s Department.
According to court records, Surratt, who had been convicted of being a felon in possession of a weapon on Nov. 12 and was conditionally released from the Madison County Jail through an electronic home monitoring detention program, violated the terms of that program by not returning to the jail at a designated time.

C-Rations Grub Hub’s logo, original hand-drawn and created by Memphis, Tennessee artist Kalunda Smith. C-Rations’ owner Christina “Christy” Harvey sought an illustration for her food truck business via Facebook, receiving approximately 40 responses, but Smith was the only artist who did her work by hand, not computer generated or by graphic design software. Smith personally called Harvey and they collaborated on the design, featuring military symbolism for which Harvey’s heart will always belong, she said. Harvey joined the military when she was 17 and retired in 2014 at age 39. Show MoreShow Less
