Adair County Authorities Continue Search For Escaped Inmate

The Adair County Sheriff's Office is searching for an escaped inmate. He is still at large Sunday morning, and authorities now believe he's driving a maroon Mustang.

KFSM reports that 28-year-old Frank Potter is a white male, 5-foot-11, 145 pounds with black hair and hazel eyes. He has numerous tattoos.

The ACSO says Potter has a violent history and should be considered armed and dangerous. Sheriff David Hardin called him a survivalist who knows the wooded areas around Adair County well.

Potter escaped from the Adair County Jail Saturday by cutting a hole in the fence and scaling two other fences. He was last seen wearing an orange jumpsuit with a red, long-sleeved shirt.

Authorities say he went into a woman's home, demanded her car keys and stole a red, four-door Nissan Frontier truck around 12:30 p.m. Saturday. That vehicle has since been recovered.
