LIVINGSTON COUNTY, Ky. (WFIE)– The search for two escaped Illinois inmates has now moved to Kentucky.          

WFIE is reporting that law enforcement is looking for 24-year-old Zachery Shock and 61-year-old Johnny Tipton, who reportedly broke out of jail through a brick wall Saturday and have been missing since.

The White County Illinois Sheriff’s Office says the pair are considered dangerous. Shock is accused of murder.

The search has reportedly moved to the Livingston County area with assistance from the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife.  

Authorities say not to approach the men if you see them.
