According to the Osage County Sheriff’s Office Facebook Page, on Friday at 4:30 a.m., OCSO Deputies were advised of a "Prison Drop" in progress at Dick Conner Correctional Facility located in Hominy.

The prison tower guard was using a thermal scope and saw the suspected individual north of the prison near an oilfield pumpjack and then lost sight of the individual near that location.

Deputies saw a moving flashlight in a wooded area where they would track the individuals for approximately 500 yards but would lose track again. A sniper hood would be spotted in a thorn bush. A duffle bag would be found that contained tobacco, cell phones, hot spots and phone chargers. 

Anyone with information on a possible suspect can contact OCSO or Hominy PD and remain anonymous.
