A Sea Of Red

An inmate has escaped from the Blue Ridge Regional Jail on Clay Street in Lynchburg.

Larry Wayne Dodson Jr., 20, escaped from a recreation yard shortly after 10 this morning, said Elton Blackstock, director of the Blue Ridge Regional Jail.

Dodson was serving a seven-year, four-month sentence for grand larceny, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and the addition of a suspended sentence. He is from Southerland.

“We are exploring several leads,” Blackstock said.

Didnt he tie sheets together?

Pretty good security they've got there.

They can't even provide a single picture or even a description of what he looks like? Police can provide time lapsed pictures of abducted children to provide you an estimate of what they will look like x years since they were abducted, but they cant provide a picture or a description of a renegade inmate? How am I supposed to know who he is unless he's wearing stereotypical jail clothing?

It wasn't when I clicked on it. How about you never speak again?

Lighten up, Francis.

Flamesbb is on edge as he should be...just a week ago people were telling him to stop breathing....that's just shameful whoever said that

Stuff like that encourages me to post more. It's like the doubters mentality the Ben Wallace era Pistons had - everytime someone doubted them it fueled them more to prove them wrong.

So I've concluded one of three things: (1) people on here haven't realized that, (2) they somehow enjoy reading what I write, or (3) you guys will miss me if I leave.

embrace your haters....they're your biggest fans

True Life! I have a fanclub of haters!

Sgt Hulka reference....love it.

My Dad works at the Jail, he said the inmates knew who escaped before they gave out his name to everyone there because this guy has been talking about escaping for a while

He really did: they showed a video clip of the sheets on the news tonight. It looked like a series of square knots (don't know if the guy was a Boy Scout or not, but the guys knows his knots).

He tied like 7 together

Not the first time he's escaped police custody: http://is.gd/mJcV

Word on the street is they caught him and used him for a training hostage situation at the dollar movies and hit him with rubber bullets teaching him a lesson....dont quote me on that but I'm just telling you what the streets are saying

Ok we have a catch me if you can situation here...we need to have him work with the FBI or something...he's good at what he does if only we can harness his powers and direct them towards good

I don't understand trying to escape with a sentence of 7 years. I could only imagine how bad it would suck to be in there longer than a day but still its not like hes in there for 20 or life.

Any resemblence?

I thought the exact same thing when I first saw the guys pic.

Trying to understand the logic of most people who end up with felony charges is just asking for a headache. Save yourself the cost of some ibuprofen and stop.
