MARSHALL – An escaped Harrison County Jail inmate is back in jail. Gary Lynn Gorman, 36, escaped Saturday night. He was with a crew that took out trash to the jail dumpster and he didn’t return. He was spotted in the Woodlawn area of Harrison County around 7:00 Tuesday morning. A DPS helicopter, with infrared radar, found him hiding in some brush and directed ground crews to his location. As he attempted to flee, he was tackled by a sheriff’s deputy who held him until other officers arrived. Gorman is now facing a felony escape charge.
His mother has also been arrested. Donna Slinkard, 58, has been charged with hindering apprehension. She is said to have harbored Gorman during some of the time he had escaped.
