4 Inmates, Including Murder Suspect, Escape From Georgia jail, Authorities Say
NBC Bay Area ^ | 10/16 | Antonio Planas

The escapees got out through a damaged window, cut a fence and fled in a blue Dodge Challenger, the Bibb County Sheriff's Office said.

Four inmates, including a man accused of murder, escaped from a Georgia jail early Monday, authorities said.

The inmates made their way out of the Bibb County Detention Center through a damaged window and a cut fence, the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. They escaped about 3 a.m. in a blue Dodge Challenger that had pulled up to the location, the sheriff’s office said.

The escaped inmates are Joey Fournier, 52, who was jailed in a murder; Marc Kerry Anderson, 24, accused of aggravated assault; Johnifer Dernard Barnwell, 37, detained by U.S. marshals; and Chavis Demaryo Stokes, 29, accused of possession of a firearm and drug trafficking, the sheriff’s office said.

In addition to the sheriff’s office, the Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force, the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service are looking for them.

"Somebody that sees this tonight knows where these four people are, and somebody is probably laughing at the TV set saying, 'They'll never get us,'" Davis said. "We will catch them. They will come back to jail. It's just a matter of time."

Bibb County is about 85 miles south of Atlanta. Macon is the county seat.

Last month, convicted murderer Danelo Cavalcante drew national headlines when he escaped from a Pennsylvania prison and spent nearly two weeks on the lam.

Even one "cracker" in the crew.

A damaged window at a jail? What, no steel bars? Might as well have been mobile home.

Ironically, they’ll probably murder someone who’s anti-Capital Punishment.

From prison:

In 2019, 2,231 inmates escaped from state or federal prisons in the United States. No recent figures I could find.


From law enforcement custody before prison:

CBS News dug into data from 26 states, which showed over 1,100 documented instances of escapes from law enforcement custody over the past five years...

These included vans stopped on the road and acts of preparing to transfer someone.


Jan 19, 2022 — Notorious Mexican gangster El Chapo escaped from a maximum security prison by hiding in a laundry basket wheeled out by a guard with whom he was friendly.
From ABC7 Chicago:
Investigators say El Chapo once told them he had killed 2,000 to 3,000 people.

"Johnifer Dernard"


What a strange name.. never seen either of those before. It's like the dr./nurses were drunk during birth and misspelled the name somehow.

In times of fluid genders, when uncertainty tugs at common sense, parents who can’t decide if they have a John or a Jennifer needn’t commit; simply mash up the two names and school psychologists will figure it out later!

I read a theory once that suggested if “mom” wasn’t sure who “dad” was, she would mishmash the names to cover all her bases ...

So ... in this case maybe we have John, Lucifer (yeah I know,, but I wouldn’t dismiss this as a possibility), De’Wayne and Bernard??

“fled in a blue Dodge Challenger”

Dodge Challengers and Dodge Chargers are the thugmobiles of choice today. Can see lots of them running from the cops on Youtube videos of Georgia and Arkansas state police dashcams.

You can bet they had help from the inside, probably some female guard.
