How did the inmates escape?
Johnifer Barnwell, Joey Fournier, Marc Kerry Anderson, and Chavis Demaryo Stokes escaped from the the Bibb County Detention Center in Macon, Georgia on Oct. 16 by jumping from a second-floor broken window and running through a cut fence.
Stokes was apprehended 10 days later on Oct. 26 after fleeing in Montezuma, Georgia, about 51 miles south of the jail.
Anderson was arrested on Nov. 3 in Atlanta, which is about 85 miles north of Macon.
What crimes were the escaped inmates charged with?
Fournier, who is still on the lam, was arrested and charged with the murder of his ex-girlfriend. Prosecutors allege Fournier strangled Cynthia Lynn Berry with a shoelace in February 2022.
He faces felonious malice murder, aggravated assault and murder and has pleaded not guilty.
Anderson, 25, has been held since 2020 for aggravated assault. According to court records, Anderson allegedly fired a gun into a person's car and two people's homes.
Barnwell, 37, was carrying out a 15-year concurrent sentence since 2013. He was charged with a felony violation of Georgia's Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act and for felonious aggravated assault. He was also detained with 16 other people in a 12-count grand jury indictment for drug charges, according to court records.
Stokes, 29, is being held on charges of possession of a firearm and drug trafficking, along with other misdemeanor charges. He has been accused of supplying illicit items to inmates in February 2020; misdemeanor theft and obstruction charges in July 2021; and this past year, he was accused of obstruction, misdemeanor battery and giving or having prohibited items by inmates, according to court records.
