GREENFIELD, Mo. - Officers from several agencies are searching for a man who escaped from a southwest Missouri county jail.
The Dade County sheriff's office says 23-year-old William Korry Smith remains at large after he broke out by faking an emergency and overpowering a jailer.
Smith was being held on suspicion of theft, unlawful possession of a firearm and resisting arrest.
The sheriff's department said Smith may have had help with the escape. Officials found a cellphone that appears to have been smuggled into the jail and showed recent communication between Smith and a woman just before the escape.
The jail is located in Greenfield, about 60 miles northwest of Springfield.
