One escapee caught during foot chase…one gets away
For immediate release BSRDC
After escaping custody last Thursday, one inmate is back at the Big Sandy Regional Center as of 9:00 PM. last night.
Two men were checked out for work detail on Thursday, March 22nd at 8:20 AM and were a part of trash collecting detail along 201 South near the Sitka
area, and were last seen at around 3:00 P.M. when they escaped custody.
KSP Trooper Wright returned Brian E. Olson to the Regional jail yesterday after a lengthy, dangerous foot chase. Trooper Wright apprehended Olson on Ison Road in Elliot County near Sandy Hook.
The other escapee, Jeremy Boggs was with Olson during the pursuit but was able to allude capture after jumping over a cliff. KSP said he did survive jumping, and was last seen running into the woods.
According to the officers at the scene, the Johnson County Sheriffs Department’s further investigation of the escape provided information that led authorities to track the prisoners on Ison Rd. resulting in the capture of Olson.
In addition to Brian Olson’s original felony charges on which he was serving time for a parole violation, he will now face Escape, 2nd degree. This will change his level in prison, and along with a new felony he will never be able to work while incarcerated and will more than likely be shipped from a county jail to state prison. State inmates get work credit for time off of their sentence.
Anyone with information concerning the whereabouts of Jeremy Boggs should contact their local Kentucky State Police Post or the Johnson County Sheriff’s Department.
