YCSO very much appreciates the calls over the last 24 hours and will check every credible lead.

Dickinson has cuts on his legs most likely from contact with barbed wire during the jail escape.

Update 9:30 PM – Suspect climbed barbed wire fence when escaping and may have been injured. Suspect has a martial arts background and is an avid outdoorsman.

Update at 9PM – this photo best represents escapee Dickinson –

As of 8:15 PM — YCSO has called in additional personnel and is working with several neighboring police agencies in the Verde to find Dickinson.
Detectives had learned that Dickinson attempted to steal a car from a business parking lot located on Highway 260 in front of the jail after his escape. He may still be looking for a vehicle to flee the area….
It is believed Dickinson remains in the Camp Verde area – please note :
