CHICAGO (AP) — Authorities in northern Illinois are searching for a Cook County Jail detainee who escaped over the weekend after appropriating the name of another detainee who was about to be released.

Cook County sheriff’s spokeswoman Sophia Ansari says 21-year-old Jahquez Scott allegedly promised to pay another detainee $1,000 to let him steal his identity to secure release.

When corrections officers on Saturday called Quintin Henderson’s name for discharge, Scott, who was being held on a weapons charge, stepped forward wearing a mask and was allowed to go.

Henderson, who was about to be released on his own recognizance in a drug case, is now being held on aiding and abetting the escape of a felon charges.
