Oklahoma Highway Patrol continues to search for a federal inmate believed to be armed who escaped from Choctaw County Jail on Monday night.
The OHP spokesperson said Aaron Victory Sr., 38, was last seen around 2 p.m. Wednesday in McCurtain County near the town of Haworth, close to the Oklahoma-Arkansas border.
Victory is believed to have family in the Haworth area.
OHP reportedly brought in a helicopter to assist in the search along the border of Little River County, Ark., and McCurtain County, Okla.
The Choctaw County Sheriff Terry Park posted on Facebook that Victory escaped the jail at 9:20 p.m. Monday through a vent in the gym.
He was being held for an upcoming preliminary hearing, according to Park.
Anyone who sees him is asked to call 911 since he is considered armed.
Victory was scheduled to attend a hearing in U.S. District Court in Muskogee.
He pleaded guilty in May to being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition and possession of a stolen firearm, according to federal court records.
Victory has felony convictions in Oklahoma dating back to 2003, including convictions for possessing stolen property, false impersonation, second-degree burglary and eluding a police officer.
According to state Department of Corrections records, he was on a 25-year probation stemming from a 2005 conviction.
Victory was convicted last year of escaping from confinement in 2012 in Woodward County, according to DOC records.
He is described as a 6-foot-1 American Indian, weighing about 195 pounds and having brown hair and brown eyes.
