We have seen all the Facebook rumors. The Henry County Sheriff’s Office does not have an escape inmate. Our deputies were in the area of the airport last looking for a subject with a violation of probation warrant. The subject fled into the cornfield so resources were called into the area to assist. The subject wasn’t located but he doesn’t pose a risk to the public.
