Sapulpa Officer Glen Coffey says that as of now, there’s no way to know where the escapees are. “They turned out of the parking lot in a northern direction, but it was still on a side road, so there’s no way to know if they continued that direction or not,” he said.

Should they be caught, the escapees are facing multiple charges, including kidnapping and assault.
