CPD UPDATE: One SRCCC Escapee Captured, Other 4 Still Being Sought
CANTON, Ohio (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – One of the five men who escaped from the Stark County Regional Community Correction Center in Canton has been caught, according to Canton police.
They say 23-year-old Jaden Miller of Carrollton was arrested by the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office.
Area police agencies continue looking for the four remaining men.
Five inmates escaped the facility sometime between 8:45 PM Monday and 10 AM Tuesday.
Lieutenant Dennis Garren says it is alleged the the suspects used a pad lock or a belt to break a window in the bedroom on the first floor of the facility and exited through there.
The SRCCC serves as an additional measure to prison for lower level felons. Garren says the individuals were incarcerated for a number of different crimes including:
- violation of a protection order
- aggravated menacing
- burglary
- possession of drugs
- carrying a concealed weapon
- having weapons under disability
“There are some violent tendencies based on their prior history,” Garren told WHBC News.
Police say to not engage any of the suspects if you believe you see one of them. Instead they ask that you contact authorities immediately.
The images of the five men who escaped can be found in the video below.
