Drew Wade              Santos Carrera        Eric James

At approximately 5:30 p-m Wednesday, Drew Edward Wade, one of four inmates that escaped from the Ottawa County Jail at approximately 5 a-m, was taken into custody in North Platte, Nebraska.

Wade had been convicted in 2009 for one count robbery and one count of aggravated burglary.

The other two inmates, Santos Carrera and Eric James, remain at large. Carrera was convicted of first-degree murder in 2008, while James was convicted in 2008 of three counts of aggravated burglary and one count of kidnapping in commission of a crime.

All three men had recently been transferred from the Ellsworth Correctional Facility.

The Ottawa County Sheriff says the inmates who escaped from his jail were armed with homemade knives and overpowered guards after complaining about a broken water line in
the holding cell area.

Sheriff Keith Coleman says the inmates overpowered the guards, opened the cell doors and got outside. He says the guards suffered only minor injuries.

The two still missing should be considered armed and dangerous. If anyone has information pertaining to the whereabouts of Santos Carrera-Morales, and/or Eric James, please call 911, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-572-7463 or Ellsworth Correctional Facility at 785-472-5501.
