Orange County deputies, Vidor Police, and other agencies are scrambling to an area just off I-10 at this hour in a search for an ESCAPED JAIL INMATE.
The inmate is identified as Drew Davis Paul
Preliminary reports indicate the inmate and an Orange County jailer were seen in a scuffle alongside the highway. It’s unclear HOW the inmate was able to initiate the fight, but a passerby noticed the confrontation and stopped to render aid to the OC deputy.
At that point, the inmate was able to flee into some woods alongside the interstate.
UPDATE 6:30 PM
