Law enforcement officers in Central Georgia are searching for four men who escaped from Bibb County Jail in the early hours of Monday morning.
According to the Bibb County Sheriff’s office, the men, including one accused murderer, slipped through a broken window in a dayroom and a cut in a perimeter fence before fleeing in a blue Dodge Charger which had apparently been waiting for them at 3 a.m.
When the public was notified a little after 11 a.m., all the schools in Bibb County were placed on a precautionary lockdown, though school officials said they saw no real danger to students.
The escapees are 52-year-old Joey Fournier, 5 feet, 9 inches tall and 140 pounds, held on a charge of murder; 24-year-old Marc Kerry Anderson, 5 feet, 9 inches tall and 165 pounds, held for aggravated assault; 37-year-old Johnifer Dernard Barnwell, 5 feet, 9 inches tall and 190 pounds, detained for the United States Marshalls; and 29-year-old Chavis Demaryo Stokes, 5 feet, 7 inches inches tall and 160 pounds, detained for possession of a firearm and drug trafficking.
All are being sought by the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office along with the Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and United States Marshalls Office.
