Inmates Escape From North Florida Jail, Prompt Schools Shutdown

The escape of three inmates who escaped from jail has prompted a shutdown of schools in a North Florida county.

The Wakulla County Sheriff's Office is searching the area just south of the state capital for the three men who escaped Friday morning.

The sheriff's office reported on its website that they don't believe the men are armed, but they are considered dangerous. 

The men are 43-year-old Joel Copper, 44-year-old Donald Cottermen and 25-year-old Casey Brandon. All are charged with burglary, and Cottermen is a registered sex offender.

Other area law enforcement agencies are assisting with the search.
