Inmate captured after escaping from detention center
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) – An inmate who escaped from a detention center in Mississippi has been captured.
Hinds County Sherriff’s Office Maj. Pete Luke told news outlets that Rodderick Raheen Jones was captured around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday. Jones escaped from the Hinds County Detention Center on Tuesday night through a hole in the wall that went up through the chase and out the roof.
Luke say Jones was discovered as missing during headcount shortly after breakfast on Wednesday. He was being held on murder, aggravated assault and a weapons charge before his escape.
Luke says Jones now faces an additional charge of escape.
Jones was arrested in 2017 for the murder of 30-year-old Kendrick Hughes.
