3 IL prisoners still on lam after escaping lockup
ULLIN, Ill. — Authorities say they have few clues as they hunt for three federal prisoners who bolted from a detention center near the southern Illinois town of Ullin (UHL’-lihn).
The U.S. Marshals Service isn’t saying how the men escaped Wednesday from the Tri-County Detention Center in Pulaski County but considers them armed and dangerous.
Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Karen Simons said Thursday that authorities don’t know if the men stayed together.
She says 35-year-old Rodney Brown of Alton, who’d been held on a weapons charge, has connections in Alton and Rockford. Twenty-eight-year-old drug defendant Thomas Glaab (GLOB) of Anna has relations in southern Illinois. And 35-year-old Miguel Robles-Moya of Chicago may have connections there and in northern Indiana.
