According to a prison guard “The guard was drinking with the detainees, he was tanked, he couldn’t stand and probably let the detainees out the main door to purchase a drink,”

The guard likewise supposedly declined to get a breathalyzer test and failed to alarm authorities about the prisoners getting away.

The two detainees were recognized as Jhon Gutierrez Rincon who was condemned to 40 years imprison time for hijacking and coercion in 2003 and Olmedo Vargas who was anticipating trial for an asserted burglary from November 2017.
