- The inmate who escaped the Crawford County Jail Monday, officers say, escaped through a door that was propped open.
In a press conference, Sheriff Ryan Swope of the Crawford County Sheriff’s Office said the inmate, Casey Jo Helsel, escaped through a door that was left propped open.
According to the sheriff’s office, the door is used by those working for and with the jail to take items inside and outside the facility.

After the search ensued, Swope said Michigan State Police Aviation used a FLIR camera to find the inmate, who was located in the woods behind the Grayling Country Club.

Trump filled a hockey arena in Port Huron and had a singular mission: getting GOP candidates elected. That was made clear almost immediately after he took the stage and went on the attack.
"I'm here to keep a jihadist Muslim brotherhood member from becoming a United States senator," Trump said. "That's the fact. I'm not going to let that happen."
Trump spent much of his speech going after Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, underscoring to his supporters the stakes of the election.
"Michigan does not need a senator who is on the side of the terrorists," Trump said. "We need a senator who's really 100, 1,000% on the side of America. That's Mike Rogers."
