How did the inmates escape?
Johnifer Barnwell, Joey Fournier, Marc Kerry Anderson, and Chavis Demaryo Stokes escaped from the the Bibb County Detention Center in Macon, Georgia on Oct. 16 by jumping from a second-floor broken window and running through a cut fence.

He faces felonious malice murder, aggravated assault and murder and has pleaded not guilty.

He was also detained with 16 other people in a 12-count grand jury indictment for drug charges, according to court records.
Stokes, 29, is being held on charges of possession of a firearm and drug trafficking, along with other misdemeanor charges. He has been accused of supplying illicit items to inmates in February 2020; misdemeanor theft and obstruction charges in July 2021; and this past year, he was accused of obstruction, misdemeanor battery and giving or having prohibited items by inmates, according to court records.
