SEARCH IS ON FOR MOCCASIN BEND ESCAPEE
Chattanooga Police and Hamilton County Sheriff’s Deputies are searching for a man they say escaped from Moccasin Bend Mental Health Institute Friday night. The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office says corrections officers from the Hamilton County Jail signed over Dustin Adams to Moccasin Bend for a court ordered evaluation. He was reported missing at 7:37 Friday night. This is Adams’ second alleged escape this year. In September, Adams and Dylon Lafollette broke out of the Hamilton County Jail. Police say Adams is not considered violent. He was being held at the jail on weapons, theft and escape charges. He now has warrants out for his escape from Moccasin Bend. He was last seen wearing blue jeans, grey long sleeve shirt, and black undershirt. If you were to see Adams, please call 911.
