CAMPBELLSBURG, Ky. (AP) - Kentucky State Police say they are conducting a ground and air
search for three inmates who escaped from a southern Indiana prison
after a truck stolen a few miles from the prison was found
abandoned in Kentucky.
Lt. Chad White with the Kentucky State Police Post 5 in
Campbellsburg said Sunday evening there had not been any confirmed
sightings of the inmates.
White says in addition to searching from the air, police are
conducting road checks.
The 1989 Ford F-250 was found along Interstate 71 northbound in
Carroll County, about 30 miles south of Cincinnati. Earlier in the
day, Indiana State Police said that truck was apparently stolen
from the town of St. Croix, just a few miles from the Branchville
Correctional Facility. The three inmates from the prison escaped
Friday.
The prison is about 50 miles west of Louisville, Ky.
