Authorities are searching for three inmates who escaped from jail in northeast Tennessee by crawling through the air vent.
The Sullivan County Sheriff's Office identified the inmates as 38-year-old Tobias Carr, 50-year-old Johnny Brown and 45-year-old Timothy Sarver.
The men escaped the county jail Friday morning by accessing the air vent through the ceiling of their cell and crawling to the roof, police told WCYB.
On Sunday, police said information gathered during the investigation indicates Carr, Brown and Sharver may be in Pulaski, in southwestern Virginia. The white Chevy truck that the men are believed to be driving was possibly spotted in the New River Valley area in Virginia, police added.
The men should be considered dangerous. In announcing the escape, the sheriff's office detailed the trio's crimes.
Carr was being held on charges of second-degree murder, vandalism and tampering with evidence.
Brown was held on charges of domestic assault, aggravated stalking, harassment, violation of order of protection, driving on a suspended or revoked license, and failure to appear.
Sarver was being held on charges of auto theft, identity theft, drug paraphernalia, and unlawful carrying of a weapon.
The men were added to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's Most Wanted list Friday afternoon.
A reward of $7,500 is being offered for information leading to the arrest of each man, for a total of $22,500.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the United States Marshals Service are assisting the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office with the investigation. Anyone with information on the escaped inmates is asked to call 911 or 1-800-TBI-FIND.
