A second Mississippi inmate is now on the run, according to law enforcement.
Myco Fort escaped from the Adams County Jail on Friday morning while serving as a trustee, according to the Adams County Sheriff’s Office. Fort, 22, was incarcerated on burglary charges. According to a report from the Natchez Democrat, Fort was mopping the building around 3:30 a.m. when breaking free through a back door.
Anyone with information regarding Fort’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Adams County Sheriff’s Office at (601) 442-2752.
In an unrelated case, a convicted murderer escaped from the Mississippi State Penitentiary on Tuesday and remains at large. Nevin Whetstone, 71, escaped from a housing unit for the second time since being sentenced to life in 1983. He first escaped in 1991 but was captured soon thereafter.
Whetstone is considered dangerous, and authorities have warned the public not to approach him if spotted. Instead, people are asked to call local law enforcement or 911 if they see Whetstone.
