Alabama Inmate Casey White Faces Charges Related to His Jail Escape With a CO

Casey White, the Alabama prisoner whose escape with a corrections officer sparked a national manhunt in April, was federally indicted Thursday for illegally possessing firearms when he fled, the DOJ announced.

The indictment alleges that Casey White had four handguns and an AR-15 rifle with him as he fled from an Alabama jail with corrections official Vicky White. He is charged with one count each of possessing a firearm as a felon and possessing a firearm as a fugitive, according to the indictment handed down by a federal grand jury in Evansville, Indiana.

Casey White is not allowed to possess a firearm due to his 2019 felony convictions for attempted murder and kidnapping, according to the DOJ and inmate records. If convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison for each of the two charges.
