Escaped convict finally faces judge

An inmate who fled custody last week had his first day in court. On Thursday inmate Caleb Slone made a break for it, while being transported to court. His brief taste of freedom came to an end when a tipster contacted the sheriff’s office, and officers were able to detain him on Friday morning near the Allen Community of Floyd County. Slone has entered a plea of not guilty, and his preliminary hearing was set for November 2nd.
