Inmate Still At Large After Oklahoma Prison Escape

Four of the five inmates that escaped a minimum security prison in southeast Oklahoma were quickly recaptured. The fifth inmate remains at large.

The Oklahoma Department of Corrections says authorities are searching for 29-year-old Christopher Coffey, who was serving a 12 year sentence for larceny and a previous escape.

The release says the five escaped late Sunday after breaking out a window on the second floor of the Jackie Brannon Correctional Center in McAlester.

Three were recaptured by McAlester police after they stole a vehicle and crashed it and a fourth was arrested near the crash site.

The names of the four inmates back in custody have not yet been released. They will be quarantined for two weeks because of the Coronavirus.
