[mikemorris]

“What we have here is a failure to communicate.”

[marvawright]

He didn’t do all that to turn himself please be serious,

[henryperez]

He probably in Mexico right now drinking Margarita 🍹

[annewelch]

Prison officials may have to get doctors to visit the prisons since each time inmates are being transported for medical assistance they escape.

[jaridkeen]

Wanted posters should be Dead or Alive

[erthingrid]

Your crazy to think he's going to turn himself in. This man is headed to Mexico.

[DORAEMON-bwjk]

How are they gonna catch this guy by riding horses?

[lindacoffey]

This guy is already gone he probably went right back to Mexico..it's only a waiste of time and money looking for him...

[henrles]

That guy is in Mexico.. will never see him again

[VoodooGoddess]

So he’s a murderer but decided to just stab the transporter in the hand?!?! Yeah right… he got connections fr 🤣🤣🤣

[uropygid]

He is holed up at the governors mansion. His name is greg abbot.

[Spookielove]

You think a guy like this is scared of Wild Hogs LOL give me a break 😀

[dank]

Just watch the boarder! He'll be the one going the opposite direction of everyone else

[pabloacosta]

Did he walk out a jail with a Texas guard too ??

[laskey]

If he's out there, those hounds will find him faster than anything.

[walter]

Two armed guards a handcuffed and shackles I assume a metal protective cage and he still managed to overpower and escape. They still haven't explained how that happened other than he was helped by the guards that's the only logical explanation

[joestewart]

OPERATOR: Um yes will you accept a collect call from a Mr. Lopez?
Sheriffs office: UHHHH Sheriff you got a minute?

[kevinrichards]

My guess that dude is either down in Mexico or in one of the other countries south of it since it's been 5 days now since his escape.

[mogie]

Can't blame Vicky white on this escape.
