An early morning jail escape has deputies searching for a suspect and a lot of people trying to figure out what went wrong.

It happened just after 6 o’clock Sunday morning at the Jessamine County Jail.

Jail officials say inmate Robert White was scheduled to be released, but instead, his cell mate, Justin Darland fooled officials into thinking he was White.

Officials say nothing in Darland's background indicates violence, but warns people should be careful since he's in a desperate situation.
