The Cass County Sheriff’s office says its detention center will come under scrutiny following the recent escape and capture of an inmate.

Just after noon on Sunday, a corrections officer was supervising an inmate workr taking trash to the dumpster when another inmate worker, Gerardo Grimaldo Perez, 25, of Logansport, had apparently hidden in the ceiling and was able to climb over a wall to escape.

Logansport Police and Cass County deputies converged in the area while corrections officers gave chase.

Perez removed his jail clothes in the 400 block of North Street and continued eastbound until he was apprehended in the 700 block of Market Street minutes later.

Perez was initially incarcerated for a probation violation warrant on a Level 6 felony for check fraud. He was due to be released on February 22.

Cass County Sheriff Ed Schroeder says the facility will undergo a review.

“The Cass County Detention Center is a secure facility. This incident will trigger scrutiny of all policies as well as an after-action review and discussion to ensure any deficiencies are corrected to prevent another occurrence. The quick capture of the inmate was a result of the cooperative efforts of the Logansport Police Department, Cass County Sheriff’s Office and the Cass County Detention Facility corrections officers,” said Sheriff Schroeder..
