The Miller County Sheriff's office needs your help to find a pair of men charged with murder who made an overnight jail escape.


Officials say 23 year old Cortez Hooper and 36 year old Quincy Stewart used a hacksaw blade to cut through metal bars, then squeezed through a narrow cell window, leaped from a second story window and scaled a 10-foot razor wire-topped fence.


Both were awaiting trial.

A K-9 unit was unable to track them.

Hooper is wanted on 1st degree murder and probation revocation charges -- and Stewart is wanted on a captial murder charge out of Bowie county, Texas.

Do not approach them. If you have any information -- you're asked to contact Miller county sheriff's office at 870-774-3001.
