(AP) – Two Texas County jail employees have been fired after an
inmate accused in a killing escaped.
KYTV-TV reports that the inmate ran out through an open door after a
correctional officer let him out of his cell to use the phone on Nov. 14. The
door was open at the time while some construction work was being done at the
facility. Texas County sheriff James Sigman says proper protocol was not
followed.
The inmate, who is accused in the October death of Billy Bishop of Licking,
was found the next day.
