JACKSON, MS – Authorities are actively searching for an inmate who managed to escape one of Mississippi‘s most secure prisons. The escape has prompted a statewide manhunt for Gregory Trigg, a convicted felon serving multiple sentences at the Mississippi State Penitentiary, also known as Parchman Farm.
Escape from Maximum-Security Facility
Gregory Trigg’s escape from the Mississippi State Penitentiary has left authorities scrambling for answers. The Mississippi Department of Corrections announced on Monday that they are working with law enforcement agencies to track down the 61-year-old inmate.
However, details regarding how or when Trigg escaped from the facility remain unclear at this time. Parchman Farm, located in Sunflower County in the northwestern part of the state, is one of the state’s highest-security prisons, housing inmates convicted of serious crimes.
A Lengthy Criminal Record
Trigg was serving a 61-year sentence after being convicted on nine charges spanning several counties. His crimes include armed robbery, two counts of kidnapping, residential burglary, and conspiracy to commit a crime, among others. His offenses occurred in Madison, Rankin, and Scott Counties.
In addition to the violent crimes, Trigg was also convicted for being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. With such a lengthy criminal history, authorities are taking the escape very seriously and are urging the public to help with the investigation.
Authorities Seek Public Assistance
The search for Trigg continues as law enforcement agencies across Mississippi work together to locate him. Trigg is described as a Black man with a bald head, brown eyes, standing 6 feet tall and weighing 200 pounds.
Authorities are asking anyone with information on his whereabouts to immediately contact their local law enforcement agency. As the investigation unfolds, the priority remains capturing Trigg to ensure public safety.
