Hopkins County Sheriff's Department
Police are searching for 44-year-old Brian Allen Tucker, left, of Sulphur Springs and 39-year-old John Marlin King, right, of Cumby
Two prisoners, including one awaiting trial on a capital murder charge, have broken out of an East Texas jail.
The Hopkins County Sheriff's Office said 44-year-old Brian Allen Tucker of Sulphur Springs and 39-year-old John Marlin King of Cumby escaped from the Hopkins County Jail on Tuesday morning.
Police are urging anyone living in the area to be on high guard and look for anything out of the ordinary. Police advice if you see the two men to not let them approach and call 911.
Nine schools in Sulphur Springs have been locked down while the search for the pair is under way.
Dispatcher Beth Renfro said both apparently fled through a recreation yard used by female inmates at the jail in Sulphur Springs, about 75 miles northeast of Dallas.
NBC 5 has learned the pair squeezed through a gate and headed east before shedding their prison clothing near railroad tracks behind the sheriff's office. Police said they believe the men are wearing white T-shirts and whie boxer shorts.
Deputy Alvin Jordan says sheriff's deputies are searching nearby woods and have set up a perimeter around where the men are believed to be hiding. Police are using dogs on the ground and searching by helicopter for the escapees.
Jordan said there was one possible sighting of a man in a white T-shirt and boxers going over a fence in the area.
Tucker was being held on $1 million bond in the 2011 death of Bobby Riley of Mahoney. Riley was strangled in his home and some music instruments and firearms had been stolen.
King was being held on an evading arrest charge. Further details weren't immediately available.
