A manhunt is under way for two prisoners, including one awaiting trial on a capital murder charge, who escaped from the Hopkins County Jail Tuesday morning.
Police are looking for 44-year-old Brian Allen Tucker of Sulphur Springs and 39-year-old John Marlin King of Cumby.
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.
Nine schools in Sulphur Springs have been locked down while the search for the pair is under way.
Police are urging anyone living in the area to be on high guard and look for anything out of the ordinary since the men may be looking for clothing. Police advice if you see the two men to not let them approach and call 911.
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.
