EKU Warns Students About Dangerous Jail Escapee

Have you seen him? Anyone who sees Daniel Patterson, who escaped from custody in Estill County, should not try to detain him and should notify local authorities immediately.

A search continued Thursday for an Estill County jail escapee, and Eastern Kentucky University urged its students and staffers to take precautions while the man remains free. Daniel Patterson, who escaped Wednesday from a deputy jailer, is the estranged husband of an EKU employee, according to authorities. Police said Patterson should be considered dangerous.
