Bembry Letterence, 31, was doing yard work in front of the work camp just after noon Monday when a late-model white Buick pulled up to the building. Letterence got in the car and left, said Warden Dexter Wells.
Wells said Letterence, serving a two-year sentence from Fulton County for possession of cocaine and possession of firearm by a felon, was on a minimum-security detail in front of the camp. His escape was discovered within 15 minutes of his departure during a routine check, Wells said.
Letterence, who is 5-feet, 6-inches tall and weighs 150 pounds, has a tattoo of the name “Erica” on his upper right arm.
Wells said the incident has been turned over to the statewide fugitive squad.
