3 ESCAPEES STILL AT LARGE

Escaped armed robber, heroin dealer both from Louisa may be headed home: 

One of the four Boyd County Detention Center escapees has been caught in Greenup County according to Boyd County Sheriff Bobby Jack Woods.

Isiah Bare was captured without incident.

Bare, along with three fellow inmates, appeared to have gotten out through an air conditioning unit around 1:30 Thursday morning, Woods said.

The Catlettsburg police chief says the men followed the air conditioning duct to the roof and then jumped off.

Authorities say if anyone sees the inmates, don’t approach them but try to get as best of a description as possible and call 911.

Bentley and Childers, both from Louisa, could possibly be in or headed to Lawrence County where both have strong ties.
