Two
murder suspects, Quincy Vernard Stewart, 36, and Cortez Rashod Hooper, 23, escaped from Arkansas jail Monday May 28th.,
2012. They were captured by police Thursday night, May 31st, 2012,
in Texarkana, Arkansas, at a vacant home 2 miles from the jail after a failed
attempt to find them with k-9 dogs previously. In their possession was a hand
gun that potentially put them in even more trouble.
Charlene Stewart, 55, Quincy Stewart’s Mother, was arrested earlier in that week for
accusations of helping her son escape by giving him up to four hacksaw blades.
This was allegedly done on May 20, 2012, when Stewart had a court date.
Charlene Stewart allegedly gave them to her son, as well as small amounts of
marijuana and a cellphone, when he was leaving court. He then allegedly placed
the items in an envelope containing his court documents that jail officials did
not have the authority to search when he returned back to the jail. This job
took real patience, skill and time. Maybe the inmates get too much down time.
If the guards were doing their job by walking around, and or giving them more
time outside of their cells they probably could have caught this. Then again,
the two inmates did not think this all the way through. Since they escaped from
jail, the judge will indefinitely send them to a maximum prison. Maybe even a
super max prison. They pretty much took any chances for appeals and parole in
the future and through it down the drain.
` This goes back to the lecture from
this week when we talked about jail inmates communicating on different types of
illegal activities they can get into. These two men actually strategically
planned this, up until they were free. They were faced with many obstacles. The
window was approximately 1 by 3.5, they had to jump a 10 ft. barbed wire fence,
as well as get 2 miles away from the jail without being caught. They also through
their sent off so the k-9 dogs could not even catch up with them. Like I said,
smart, yet really dumb for being that close to the jail. The fact that his
mother helped me really intrigued me. We hear all the time how parents want to
do so much for their children to help them get out of trouble, but did she
really think she was going to get away with it? Or, did someone else pass it to
him while he was at court? This is probably what will be argued in court since
no one actually seen her hand it to her, they just assumed. Either way, they
both will have this on to their murder and possesion charges. Stewart will have
to live with the fact that his mom very well may be in a prison cell of her
own. I do not know about him, but what I do know is I would not want to drag my
mom in any of my troubles in a negative way.
