The Montana Highway Patrol is assisting the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office in locating an escaped prisoner from the Montana State Prison, according to MHP Sgt. Jay Nelson.
Montana Department of Corrections Director Brian Gootkin said in a statement the search was "an excellent collaboration among the DOC, state, and local law enforcement agencies."
It took less than an hour from the time a stranger asked for food for him to be identified as one of the seven men who escaped from Waainek Correctional Facility in Makhanda and rearrested. Trymore Chauke was arrested at Seven Fountains around 7pm on Sunday 23 October.
