Detention Center Director Bob Daly would identify the guard. The man resigned yesterday. Daly says the guard had been hired in January. Daly says the man was assigned to watch the inmates while they were in a fenced-in recreational area but left his post to open a gate for another inmate without notifying other guards. Daly says the escape is the jail's first since 1997.
Police think they fled in a car driven by another man.
The car had been parked in the area before the escape. Both men were awaiting trial on burglary charges. Privacy Policy Registered site users, to edit your personal profile, click here .
