Authorities in Northern California are still on the hunt for three of the six inmates who escaped from Merced County Downtown Jail over the weekend, police confirmed in a press release.
Merced County Sheriff’s Office said that a preliminary investigation concluded the fugitives escaped the facility by using a “homemade rope to scale down the side of the jail” via the roof. Jail officials found the six inmates missing from their cells just before midnight on Jan. 10.
