According to Chief Deputy Jimmy Kilgore, the first inmate is Robert Edwin Pike, 67, of Sylacauga. Pike is a white male, 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighs 196 pounds. He has blue eyes and gray hair. Pike was being held on a charge of manufacture of a controlled substance.
Jeremy Allen Bryant, also of Sylacauga, was being held on a forgery charge. He is 6 feet tall, weighs 255 pounds and has hazel eyes and brown hair.
The vehicle they drove off in is a gray 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 four-door pickup truck with the Alabama license plate 17A95A0.
The two inmates were trustys who fled from their work detail sometime after 4:30 a.m., Kilgore said. Neither is considered particularly dangerous. Investigators already were looking into various leads and possible destinations this morning.
