Inmates escape Virginia jail by manipulating locks, reward offered for information.

Two federal detainees, Alder Marin-Sotelo and Bruce Callahan, escaped from the Piedmont Regional Jail in Farmville, Virginia, by manipulating locks and scaling two fences. The US Marshal leading the investigation believes they may have talked about the escape, but left 20 hours apart and did not help each other. Both are considered dangerous, with Callahan having an extensive criminal history involving firearms and drug offenses, and Marin-Sotelo being charged federally with weapons possession by an illegal alien and wanted for a homicide of a law enforcement officer in Wake County, North Carolina. Law enforcement is conducting a manhunt and warns that both inmates could be armed and pose a danger to the community.
