An inmate who escaped from a Mississippi courthouse more than two months ago has been located barricaded in a Chicago restaurant, just blocks away from the Democratic National Convention venue, officials confirmed.
Chief Deputy Justin Smith from the DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office in Mississippi provided updates during a news conference on Tuesday, stating that the 30-year-old escapee, Joshua Zimmerman, is currently alone in the restaurant and there is no immediate threat to civilians in the vicinity.
