PITTSBURG COUNTY, Okla. -- A former McAlester firefighter already facing four felony charges will likely be looking at more after authorities say he escaped from jail and drove away in a city vehicle.
Pittsburg County Sheriff Jerome Amaranto says 46-year-old Roger Dale Duvall now is being held on new complaints of escape and larceny of a vehicle.
Amaranto says Duvall apparently slipped away after a group of inmates were taken out to exercise Wednesday night.
Duvall was caught early Friday after authorities say he went to a casino in Ada.
Amaranto also says he's suspended two jail employees and has ordered his staff to stop taking inmates out for exercise until the new jail is completely finished.
Duvall has multiple drug charges and was being held on a $100,000 bond for possession of drugs with intent to distribute.
Pittsburg County jailers say Duvall is a former employee of the McAlester Fire Department.
