Woods then pushed the deputy aside and ran out. Woods was being held at the jail for a parole violation and a fugitive warrant in Rockingham County, N.C., according to Capt. Rockingham County officials had charged Woods with attempted breaking and entering and attempted felonious assault on a government official. Brown said Woods tried to hit a sheriff's deputy with a car. At the time of the escape, Woods was a jail trustee and was given more responsibility.
Trustees can work off some of their sentences by doing cleaning and odd jobs.
According to Sgt. V. Yarbrough, only inmates that aren't considered escape risks are chosen to be trustees. He was last seen wearing dark green coveralls. Officials do not consider Woods to be armed or dangerous. Anyone with information concerning Woods' location is asked to contact either the Danville Police Department or the Danville Sheriff's Office.
