One of the four escaped prisoners from Mississippi was spotted at a service station in Spring Valley, Texas

On Wednesday, April 26, authorities said that one of the four prisoners, 51-year-old Jerry Raynes. was spotted at a service station in Spring Valley, Texas, about 10 miles from Houston. As per Fox News, Raynes has a history of escaping from prison.

The sighting came hours after the Hinds County sheriff announced that one of four Mississippi jail escapees, Dylan Arrington, who was in prison on charges of auto theft and gun possession, was found dead after a fire at a residence in Carthage, Mississippi.

The incident reportedly occurred during a police standoff when Arlington barricaded himself inside the home and opened fire on a deputy, striking him in the leg. Shortly after, he was found dead after setting the home ablaze during a confrontation with police officers.

In a Facebook post, the Leake County Sheriff’s Office said:

“The suspect was located at the residence on 2511 Conway Rd early Wednesday morning. At around 7:10 a.m. the suspect shot from within his location in the home striking Investigator Horn in the lower right leg. Horn was transported to Leake Baptist where he was stabilized.”

Authorities also revealed that multiple vehicles were stolen by the inmates during the escape. One of the trucks was reportedly stolen by Arrington, who shot a man in front of the victim’s red Dodge Ram 1500, before driving away.

As per CNN, Jones said another truck, a stolen Hinds County maintenance vehicle, was recovered after it was found abandoned more than 400 miles away in Spring Valley Village, Texas. It is unclear if Raynes traveled in the truck to Texas.

As of Wednesday, authorities have not disclosed if the other three inmates - Raynes, Casey, and Grayson - have been apprehended. In a statement, Jones said:

“We are actively and aggressively looking for these individuals, and we hope to have them back in custody soon.”

Jones added that officials are investigating the escape of the prisoners from the Raymond Detention Center.
