UPDATE: Still No Sign of That Illegal Alien Drug Dealer Trustee Who Escaped from the Mitchell County Jail

COLORADO CITY – Authorities in Colorado City Wednesday morning said the escaped jail trustee is still at large.  

As we reported earlier, Pedro Martinez was arrested and jailed for drug dealing and money laundering and is an illegal alien.  While in the Mitchell County Jail, he was granted status of trustee, which allowed him to leave the jail on a work detail.  He was reportedly part of a group of inmates who were unloading a food truck when Martinez escaped custody.  

Sheriff Patrick Toombs is reporting no change in the status of the escaped inmate.  Law enforcement continues to investigate information and leads to locate Martinez.
