An inmate at a Chicago jail on Saturday posed as another inmate who was due to be discharged, and escaped from the facility while wearing a mask, authorities have said.

Jahquez Scott, 21, who was wrongly released from Cook County Jail, allegedly took on the identity of Quintin Henderson, 28, in exchange for $1,000. Henderson was set to be released on a recognizance I-Bond for a drug charge.
