NATCHEZ — Adams County Sheriff Travis Patten is asking residents in the Morgantown area to be aware of an escaped inmate from the county jail on State Street.

Patten shared updated photos of the escapee, Myco Fort, 22, who escaped from the jail on State Street at approximately 3:30 a.m. Friday.

No longer in jail clothing, Fort was spotted on security cameras in the Morgantown area at about 9:30 a.m. wearing what appears to be a Black Jordan jacket over a Nike hoodie and blue jeans.

Patten asks that all Morgantown residents check their security cameras and report any unusual findings to the Adams County Sheriff’s Office.

Fort had been incarcerated for burglary charges and was a trusty. He was brought downstairs to clean the building, Patten said.

“While mopping the floor, he decided to drop the mop and run out the back door,” Patten said. “He was wearing an orange jumpsuit. We do not know if he is still. We’ve got every person we have out looking for this individual now, but we’re asking for help from the public as well.”

According to arrest records, Fort was a resident of Broadmoor Drive and was arrested on Feb. 24.

“Do not help this individual run,” Patten said. “Anyone who chooses to do that will be charged as well. Call 911 immediately if you see him or if you want to remain anonymous, you can call Crime Stoppers at 888-442-5001.
