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.
