All Prisoners Accounted For After Incident At Century Prison Fence Tuesday Morning
August 24, 2021
A search was underway after an incident Tuesday morning outside the Century Correctional Institution on Tedder Road.
“All of the Century CI prisoners are accounted for,” Florida Department of Corrections Press Secretary Paul Walker told NorthEscambia.com. He said a prisoner count was conducted, confirming that there was no escape.
He said someone was outside a perimeter fence at the prison and fled toward a wooded area when spotted just before 8 a.m..
FDC officers and K-9 units, along with the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, established a perimeter around the prison to look for the suspect. Walker said the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office was the primary agency in the search.
“We are looking for the person that trespassed on their property,” ECSO Chief Public Information Officer Amber Southard said at the time
FDC and ECSO officers were seen still on the perimeter, including at Lake Stone on West Highway 4. The prison perimeter is just a few hundred feet south of the lake.
The suspect was taken into custody Tuesday afternoon. Additional details will be posted.
