According to a news release, Devacheay Martin, 23, of Pineville escaped from Rapides Detention Center about 8:30 p.m. Friday.

Accused of, among other things, attempted 2nd degree murder, he was arrested early Thursday and booked under $550,000 bail.

According to a news release/broadcast Saturday morning, he was at-large and considered dangerous.

Contrarily, jail records Sunday night showed him being released at 2:05 am Saturday.

That may indicate Martin had been recaptured, or maybe not, between escape and broadcast of the department news release.

The record does not indicate an escape charge added to his original booking.

According to the news release, Martin went out over a fence during recreation time.

Whether that portion of fence is topped by razor wire wasn’t addressed.

Whether Martin had assistance inside or outside the fence wasn’t addressed.
