Cobb Sheriff Neil Warren said a county jail inmate escaped a work detail at Fullers Park today.
He said Christopher Shane Pruitt walked away from a cleanup at Fullers Park on Robinson Road in East Cobb around 11 a.m.
Pruitt is incarcerated for a probation violation after an original charge of theft by taking of a motor vehicle.
Warren said Pruitt is a white male, 47 years old, about 6-foot-4 and 250 pounds.
