DEFUNIAK SPRINGS, Fla. (AP) _ Law enforcement authorities say two prisoners escaped from a transport van that was heading to Tallahassee on Monday morning.
The inmates were on their way from California and Texas to a facility in Jackson, Minnesota.
Other inmates in the van say 30 year old Michael Rotunno and 28 year old James Banks jumped out of the back of the van during a stop at the Walton County Jail.
Police in seven panhandle counties are on the alert for the two.
