Federal and state law enforcement in Virginia and North Carolina are searching for two men who escaped from jail, one of whom was facing a murder charge in the death of a sheriff’s deputy.
The two men escaped from a Farmville, Virginia, jail sometime over the weekend, the Prince Edward County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release. The sheriff’s office was notified the two men were missing early Monday morning. Farmville is roughly 60 miles southwest of Richmond and about 60 miles north of the North Carolina border, where authorities say both men have connections. The escapees were identified by authorities as Alder Marin-Sotelo, 26, and Bruce Carroll Callahan, 44.
He has black hair and brown eyes, the sheriff’s office added. He is believed to have left the jail in an early 2000s red or burgundy Ford Mustang, the Wake County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post. He is considered “extremely dangerous,” authorities said. Callahan was being held on federal drug and weapons charges, the U.S. Marshals Service said in a news release. He is White, 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weighs roughly 145 pounds. He has brown hair and green eyes, the release added.
