Search Continues for Texarkana Inmate that Walked Away from Work Detail

The search continues by land and air to locate inmate Jeremy Pifer who walked away from his work detail South of Fouke last Thursday. Pifer was incarcerated at the Southwest Arkansas Community Correctional Center in Texarkana. Continue reading to get the details and info that you need to know.

Pifer was working as the flag man on the road work detail approximately 5 miles south of Fouke on Hwy 71 South. He took a bathroom break, walked into the woods and never came back.

The Miller County Sheriff's Department and Arkansas States Police are searching the area from dogs on the ground to choppers in the air to hunt down this escaped inmate but as of Monday at noon, no luck.

Pifer had been at the facility since February on residential burglary charges. Pifer 36 years old, 5'8 and weighs 161 pounds. He disappeared while working with a crew. Pifer's last known address before he was incarcerated was Missouri.

If you see Pifer call 9-1-1 immediately -- Do NOT approach him! 

According to the Texarkana Texas Police Department Facebook page, "He was last seen wearing yellow pants, white shirt, and an orange blazer."

My personal thoughts: I seriously doubt he is still wearing the same clothes he was when he walked off the work detail. If he didn't have help getting out of the area he could possibly be looking for an opportunity to obtain assets to make his getaway successful. If he is still in the area he will need food, water and shelter of some sort. Please be aware of your surroundings as you are out and about. Additionally, please check in on your family, elderly friends or any of your neighbors that you have not seen in a few days. There is always a chance that Pifer is not in the area any longer but it is better to err on the side of caution. Lock your doors. Keep your valuables secure.
