Lewistown, Illinois: Four inmates escaped from a county jail in western Illinois and authorities advised area residents to remain locked in their homes as they searched Thursday for the men. Fulton County deputies learned of the escape Wednesday night after one inmate went missing from a cell block in the jail in Lewistown, about 210 miles southwest of Chicago, authorities said. It was later determined that three others also were missing. Authorities didn't immediately say how the men escaped, but said they should be considered armed and dangerous. As of Thursday morning, Jesse Davis, 35, Cody Villalobos, 26, Zachary Hart, 36, and Eugene Roets, 23, had not been captured. (Read more.)

The inmates are to be considered armed and dangerous. If you see them, do not approach them.
