2 SC inmates may be headed to FL in stolen car
FLORENCE -- Officials say two minimum security inmates who walked away from jobs at a cannery near Florence have stolen a car and may be headed to Florida.
Corrections Department spokesman Clark Newsom says Palmer Pre-Release Center inmates Dameon Simpson and Kyle William Norris took a car out for a test drive in Lawrenceville, Ga., on Monday and didn't return.
The men were reported missing Sunday from their jobs at McCall Farms in Effingham. Authorities say Norris has relatives in Florida.
Simpson is serving a five-year sentence for hit and run. Norris has less than six months to go on a five-year sentence for second-degree burglary.
Authorities are looking for a white 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix with Georgia tag (hash)DL91E91. Newsom says anyone with information should call officials at 803-896-2256.
