Lexington inmate faces escape charge after turning himself in, officials say
An inmate has been charged with escape after failing to return after being granted a “court ordered pass” to leave, according to Lexington-Fayette County Detention Center officials.
Alan Dewayne Tatman, 47, turned himself in Sunday night, putting an end to a search. He had failed to return by the 5 p.m. Saturday deadline he was given after being allowed to leave the jail at 9 a.m. Saturday.
Tatman was in jail after being charged with two counts of theft and one count of failing to appear for a burglary charge, according to jail officials. Tatman also had additional charges of probation violations from Jessamine County, according to court records.
Tatman was indicted in late October and arraigned on his Fayette County charges Friday, according to court records.
