In addition, a few weeks ago, two arrests were also made in connection with Spring. Officials arrested Kayce Knight, 36, in the 3500 block of Bowers Street and arrested Michael Lynn Allen, 45, on Thursday, June 1, in the 500 block of Walker Lane, according to Jones.
Both Lane and Knight face charges of accessory, aid and abetting in connection with Spring.
Jones said a stolen black Honda is confirmed to be connected to Spring.
Since his escape, The Hinds County Sheriff's Office released details of Springs's appearance to help assist with a possible arrest.
Spring is approximately 5-foot-8, 155 pounds, with brown hair, blue eyes, and a noticeable neck tattoo.
The May 30 escape is the second from the Hinds County facility in recent weeks. On April 22, four inmates escaped. Two of the four escapees died while on the lam, one in a standoff with police. Two others were captured in early May
Before the latest escape, Spring had been in the facility since November 2022 and was being held on probation and parole violations, burglary and holds with other agencies.
Jones said that while a new jail is being built, the county will have to spend more money to maintain the existing facility to avoid such breakouts.
