Tony Cole, 18, had been taken to the sheriff’s office for questioning about a case Wednesday night when he escaped. As Cole was being walked back to the jail, he ran off at about 10 p.m.
He was wearing his jail suit and handcuffs, and his shirt was found a short distance away from the jail, authorities said.
Cole is from Raleigh and had been in the jail since Jan. 2, accused of breaking and entering and larceny.
