Pulaski County deputies are looking for an escaped inmate they consider to be armed and dangerous.
Deputies tell FOX16 news that 19 year-old Marlon Watkins, Jr. has somehow acquired a weapon and may be headed to the Pine Bluff area.
Sunday morning Watkins was being transported from the satellite center to the main jail to start work as part of the kitchen crew. Deputies say Watkins jumped into a jail van and drove it through a secured gate.
The van was found hours later on 26th and Jackson Street in Little Rock. His jail clothes were found near the van.
Watkins was in jail on drug possession, criminal use of a prohibited weapon, burglary, and theft of property.
If you know anything call Pulaski County Sheriffs Office at 501-340-6600.
