Former Alabama escapee indicted on firearm charges in Indiana
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WAFF) - A former north Alabama inmate who escaped custody for over ten days in April and May was indicted on firearm charges in Indiana Thursday. The U.S. Department of Justice said in a release that a federal grand jury returned an indictment July 21 charging Casey White with felon in possession of a firearm and fugitive in possession of a firearm
On April 29, the 38-year-old inmate escaped from the Lauderdale County (Ala.) jail with corrections officer, Vicky White. On May 9, White allegedly possessed five firearms in Evansville, Indiana. Those firearms included four handguns and an AR-15 rifle. The release states White was prohibited from possessing firearms because he was a fugitive and because of prior felony convictions.
White will make his initial appearance in court in Indiana at a later date. If convicted, he faces up to ten years in federal prison on each count.
Casey White was charged July 12 with the murder of Vicky White. The indictment says Casey White is responsible for Vicky White’s death because it happened during Casey White’s escape.
