Today's local legal news is centered around the three escaped inmates from the Sevier County Jail Annex. The question I have heard from multiple people is what kind of charges the individuals might be facing from the escape.
T.C.A. 39-16-605 holds that Escape is crime with varying degrees of punishment. If the individual is incarcerated for either a misdemeanor or civil offense, then the crime of Escape is a Class A misdemeanor punishable up to 11 months and 29 days to be served consecutively to the crime for which they are incarcerated. If the charge for which the individual is incarcerated is a felony, then the crime of Escape is a Class E felony to be served consecutively to the crime for which they are incarcerated.
If you are facing misdemeanor or felony charges, don't jump the fence. Call a licensed Tennessee attorney. The Law Offices of Andrew E. Farmer serve Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg as well as Jefferson, Cocke and Knox Counties.
