Case Story |

21-Year-Old Prison Escapee Is Armed Robber |
|
| |
Joseph Mark Lee, Jr. was just one year into a 12 year sentence for an armed robbery he pulled as a 19 year old. Now Georgia Department of Corrections says he's added prison escape to his record. Lee was one of four inmates who broke out of Georgia's Montgomery State Prison in Mount Vernon on Saturday October 9.
A massive manhunt is underway across northwest Georgia involving federal, state, county and local police. Georgia Department of Corrections spokeswoman Scheree Lipscomb says, "Most of them are from the northwest corner of Georgia. We assume they may be heading back to that area, but we don't know." |

The Breakout |

The prison is located about 150 miles southeast of Atlanta. Lipscomb says on Saturday, October 9, 2004 the men were in the recreation yard prior to their escape. Investigators have determined the four inmates cut a hole through a security fence at the medium security prison between 9 and 9:30 p.m. According to Department of Corrections investigators, they have not ascertained what tool the inmates used to cut the fence.
Investigators believe the men fled in a stolen 1996 white Jeep Cherokee with Georgia plate number 8268ALW. Police are following up on all leads and are canvassing neighborhoods in towns in northwest Georgia, where the men are from.
All four are white males who officials say met in prison. Investigators are unsure if the escapees are armed but urge residents to proceed with caution if approached by the men. |

One of Four Captured |

Department of Corrections officials say Tracy Mullins, one of the four escapees, was located on Monday, October 11, in of all places, a hospital. They say Mullins attempted to burglarize a home in Birmingham, Alabama. During the burglary attempt officials say the resident at the home shot Mullins in self defense. Mullins, under watch by law enforcement, is in the intensive care unit at the University of Alabama at Birimingham Hospital.
Investigators believe his fellow inmates, Lee, Sheer and Thompson, were with Mullins at the time of the shooting. Police are fanning out all over Alabama and Georgia looking for the remaining prisoners. |
