On Friday, three inmates escaped a jail in Tennessee. Now, officials have said that two of them are dead, and one is still on the run.
The Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office stated, on Monday, that Timothy Sarver and Tobias Carr were “confirmed deceased in Wilmington, North Carolina.” They didn’t disclose any information on how the two died.
Initial reports were that the two men were a part of a robbery at a convenience store in another section of North Carolina. That started a police pursuit prior to the men’s vehicle breaking down in Wilmington.
Authorities have said that Johnny Brown is still being sought.
The three men were able to escape the jail through an HVAC air vent on the roof, police say. A $7,500 reward had first been offered for information that led to an apprehension of each one of them.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the US Marshals Service are helping with the on-going investigation.
