PINE BELT, Miss. (WDAM) - The Jasper County Sheriff’s Department is asking the public’s help in locating a fugitive.

Jasper County Sheriff Randy Johnson said in a Facebook post that inmate Devin Johnson “fled on foot” from the Jasper County Jail about 3:15 p.m. Tuesday.

The sheriff said Devin Johnson was not considered “armed or dangerous,” but warned residents that if “you spot this subject, do not give this person a ride.”

Some three hours after his escape, the sheriff’s department released another post that read:

“Devin Johnson has not been apprehended at this time (6:18 p.m.) There are several agencies assisting in the search. The search will continue, (and) we will provide updates when available.

”Please keep your doors and cars locked. Call 911 if you see him."
