A manhunt is underway in Humphreys County after inmate Michael Ayers took a detour from justice, disappearing during his work detail by the CVS in Waverly, Tennessee. As reported by WSMV, a cash reward is on the table for the timely capture of Ayers, specifically within the pressing window of the next two days.
Ayers, held on charges including simple possession, vandalism and violation of probation, is believed to have altered his appearance since slipping the noose. Initially clad in blue pants and a white T-shirt, officials are skeptical about his current wardrobe. “We do not believe him to be a danger to the public but please stay vigilant if you see him, use caution and call 911,” the Humphreys County Sheriff's Office warned the community.
The Sheriff's Office is leaving no stone unturned as they invite tips that could lead to Ayers' re-capture.
