Escapee Caught in Tupperware Storage Container

Parr

PRENTISS COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) — A tip leads Prentiss County deputies to an escapee hiding in a Tupperware storage container.

Prentiss County Sheriff Randy Tolar says that at about noon Monday, his department received a tip that 27-year-old James Kevin Parr, who had walked away from the state Department of Corrections Restitution Center in Pascagoula, could be found at a residence on Sportsmans Club Road. They found Parr there hiding in a plastic tupperware storage container.

Parr was taken into custody and transported to the Prentiss County Jail. He was serving time on charges that he had been convicted of in Prentiss County. He had escaped the later part of June from the restitution center and eventually made it back to Prentiss County.
