Alabama authorities are searching for an escaped inmate who was recently convicted of shooting at a sheriff's deputy. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency told media outlets Tuesday night state and local authorities are looking for 23-year-old Eric Washington of Eutaw. A spokesman says Washington overpowered the staff at Greene County jail and took their keys before fleeing on foot around 9 p.m. He was last seen wearing black shorts and no shirt. Officials say Washington is considered armed and dangerous.
