The Clayton County Sheriff’s Office is searching for inmate James Damonte Beasley, who escaped custody while at Southern Regional Medical Center. Beasley, who is 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs about 170 pounds, was booked in March for a probation violation. This escape follows an incident in late March when another inmate, Kathan Guzman, was mistakenly released before his transfer to prison after being sentenced to life for murder.
