An investigation revealed four inmates attempted to escape from the roof of the Midland County Central Detention Center by making a hole in the ceiling.
The Sheriff's Office reported Tuesday a large hole was located late Sunday in the ceiling of the B Block. The hole was detected by a guard.
Phillip Jay Sterling, 25, Craig Allen Niedecken, 19, James Richard Cunningham, 31, and Darrin Dwayne Clemons, 35, were each charged with escape from a correctional facility.
Sheriff Gary Painter said citizens have nothing to fear and measures are being taken to ensure it doesn't happen again. He declined to elaborate.
Cunningham was arrested in September for aggravated sexual assault of a Midland woman at her home. His other charges include aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, evading and resisting arrest, forgery and theft.
Sterling is being held on charges that include burglary of a habitation and criminal non support. Niedecken is being held on violation of probation for robbery and a misdemeanor charge of failing to stop and give information.
