Three inmates who escaped Friday night from William S. Key Correctional Center appear to have made it as far as Arizona.

Authorities believe Jake Trout, 22; Dennis W. Finch, 20; and Christopher D. Hibl, 20, have stolen a fourth vehicle in Williams, Ariz., which is located approximately 36 miles west of Flagstaff, Ariz., along I-40.

Linda Eike, warden's assistant at William S. Key, said the prison learned about the fourth vehicle burglary Monday morning.

She said they believe the escapees made it to Williams, Ariz., by way of Fargo, Sayre and Holbrook, Ariz., where other vehicles were also found stolen.

After escaping from the prison between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. Friday, officials believe the trio stole their first vehicle from a rural home near Fargo in Ellis county, where a 1983 flatbed pickup was discovered missing around 5 p.m. Saturday, according to Woodward County Sheriff Gary Stanley.

Stanley noted the escapees also allegedly stole two shotguns and three rifles from the home and are considered armed and dangerous.

“We knew it was the inmates from Key because one of the prisoners left his (prison) clothes in the house,” he said. “There were clothes missing from the house -- at least one of them took some clothing.”

Trout, Finch and Hibl are thought to have walked approximately 15 miles to the home from the prison.

Stanley said authorities believed the three were still together, because they had been following three sets of tracks in Ellis County.

“The first set of tracks was found by the Department of Corrections,” Stanley said. “We tried to get people ahead of them, and that’s when we found out the house was broken into.”

Authorities eventually discovered the 1983 flatbed in Sayre, where it appears the escapees traded it out for another vehicle, which was later found discarded in Holbrook, Ariz., where they allegedly stole a third vehicle before ditching it 128 miles or so later in Williams, Ariz.

However, Eike said there has been no confirmed sightings of the escapees in any of these areas and the multiple vehicle burglaries could be "coincidences."

"We're not sure these are our offenders; all we're doing is suspecting," she said.

The men are currently suspected to be traveling in a blue 2002 Chevrolet S10 pickup, bearing Arizona license plate 453JJS, which was taken from Williams, Ariz.

Anyone with information about the escapees' whereabouts are asked to call 9-1-1, the Woodward County sheriff's office at (580) 256-3264, the Fugitive Apprehension Hotline at (405) 425-2570, or William S. Key at (580) 766-2224.

Trout is a white male, 5’11” tall, weighs 169 pounds and has brown hair and brown eyes. He also has numerous tattoos, including the Yankees logo and “SVN” on his abdomen, an angel, an Asian symbol, a cross, a fish and “TROUT” on his back.

He was being held on burglary, forgery and bogus check charges and a previous escape.

Finch is a white male, 5’7” inches tall, weighs 150 pounds with brown hair and hazel eyes. He has several tattoos, including on on his abdomen that bears the word, “Jamie,” one on his neck that bears the words, “California Boy,” and one on his upper right arm that bears the acronym “USMC.”

Finch was being held on numerous burglary charges.

Hibl is also a white male 6’2” tall, weighs 240 pounds with brown hair and hazel eyes. His identifying body marks include burn scars on his neck, as well as a number of tattoos, including the word, “FAMOUS” on his abdomen, a tombstone and “In loving memory of Laudie Hibl” on his back, a tattoo of “Winners make it happen, losers make excuses” on his left arm, “TRAE 6-11-08” and drama masks on his right arm and pot leaf tattoos on the back of both his calves.

He was being held on charges of possession of stolen property and knowingly concealing stolen property, as well as a charge for attempting to elude authorities.

The three men were discovered missing during a head count at 9 p.m. Friday and were being kept in the Regimented Inmate Discipline (RID) unit, which is a delayed sentencing unit, according to Deputy Warden William Monday.

They apparently escaped through a window and somehow made it around a fence surrounding the unit, Monday said.

The gates to the fence are “not real tight,” he said, adding the purpose of the fence is to keep them away from the general population offenders.

As inmates in the RID unit, Monday said the three men had had “a chance to go home.” But after “they walked off the prison grounds” Friday night, they now face new felony escape charges and more prison time.
