(WOODBURY) During Friday afternoon’s (6/30/2023) heat wave, two inmates escaped from the Cannon County Jail at 110 Alexander Drive in Woodbury.

Sheriff Dale Young said that convicted felons Michael Anderson and Cory Foster were in the recreation yard when they fled through one fence and over another that had barbed-wire coils at the top.

The two are considered dangerous as they are awaiting sentenceing for State Prison on serious drug charges.

Reports indicate that they were last seen running through a field towards Doolittle Road. The two escapees did not have shoes and both were last seen wearing their orange jailhouse bottoms and one had a striped shirt. The other was not wearing a shirt.  

Please lock your doors and call 911 if you see either one of these men.
