Court records have revealed new details about how three inmates escaped from the DeKalb County Jail and commandeered a terrified Lyft driver's car to flee to south Florida. The three inmates, identified Stevenson Charles, Yusuf Minor, and Naod Yohannes, were able to get out of the jail after compromising part of a cell late Sunday night, officials said. They remained on the run until they were arrested early Tuesday morning in Broward County, Florida.
Main Idea: Three Georgia inmates, including Stevenson Charles, allegedly escaped from DeKalb County Jail and kidnapped a Lyft driver during a run to Florida.
