MOULTRIE — A man serving two life sentences for robbery who escaped from jail in June has been indicted in that case, along with three people who are accused of hindering officers from capturing him.
Anthony Moses Jordan, 32, was in Colquitt County Jail awaiting transfer into the state prison system when he escaped June 15, using a possibly staged fight by other inmates as a diversion.
Jordan was recaptured four days later at a 1306 First Ave. N.W. residence.
Since his recapture Superior Court Judge Frank Horkan has ordered that he be held at Valdosta State Prison and transported to Colquitt County for legal proceedings, Colquitt County Superior Court documents said.
Two residents of the First Avenue Northwest house, Tonya Nicole Fielder, 24, and Kevin Dietrick Jordan, 30, and Christopher Andrew Willoughby, 21, of 126 N. Academy St., Funston, were indicted on a single count each of hindering the apprehension or punishment of a criminal.
Jordan was convicted in May on two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of armed robbery and burglary related to a home invasion at 812 Seventh Ave. S.E. in the early morning of June 27, 2008. He was sentenced to two life sentences plus 20 years.
Jordan previously served a four-year sentence beginning in 1995 after being convicted of a Feb. 4, 2004, armed robbery in Colquitt County, according to the Georgia Department of Corrections.
