Inmate on work-release now charged with escape

MOULTRIE, Ga. — A young man serving a sentence for probation violation now finds himself in even more trouble.

Nathaniel Wright, 24, was taken into custody May 2 on the probation violation charge. Colquitt County Jail documents didn’t indicate what offense he was on probation for or how he had violated it.

One document at the jail listed Wright’s address as Sylvester but another listed it as Funston-Sigsbee Road.

As part of a work-release arrangement, Wright was in the custody of the Colquitt County Jail, but he was released to work his shift at the Moultrie Burger King.

On Thursday, a restaurant official notified deputies that Wright had left work about 3 p.m. that day and hadn’t returned. Officers found him about 11:30 p.m. and took him back into custody.

Wright is now charged with escape.
