Escaped Georgia Jail Inmate Captured, Woman Arrested for Hindering Capture
ATLANTA—Exciting news as the second of four men who made a daring escape from a central Georgia jail last month has been apprehended, according to authorities.
The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office announced in a news release that Marc Kerry Anderson, 25, was captured just before 3 p.m. on Friday at an apartment complex in Atlanta. A team of local, state, and federal law enforcement officers worked together to make the arrest, although no further details were provided.
Sheriff David Davis revealed last month that Anderson, along with Joey Fournier, Chavis Demaryo Stokes, and Johnifer Dernard Barnwell, escaped through a damaged window and a cut fence on the early morning of October 16. While Stokes was captured on October 26, the other two remained on the run.
In a separate development on Friday, authorities also arrested Tymesha Ceiarra Timley, a 32-year-old woman who allegedly hindered Anderson’s capture. Timley was taken into custody at 10 a.m. and booked into the Bibb County jail without bond. The sheriff’s office did not provide any additional details regarding her arrest.
Timley is facing charges of aiding or permitting another to escape lawful custody or confinement, as well as hindering the apprehension or punishment of a criminal. It is currently unknown whether she has legal representation to comment on the charges.
Video footage from the day of the escape showed a blue Dodge Challenger parked near the jail, with someone tampering with the fence. Investigators believe that person brought items into the enclosed area to assist the escape. The sheriff’s office suspects these items were used by the men to aid in their getaway.
Sheriff Davis previously stated that it was unclear whether the four men used the blue Dodge Challenger to flee the jail, or if they escaped in another vehicle or on foot. However, the abandoned car was discovered on Friday in the parking lot of a Macon supermarket.
Last month, Bibb County deputies arrested an individual who was charged with auto theft. The suspect allegedly stole a Dodge Challenger from a rental car agency a week prior to the escape, and was also accused of aiding in the jailbreak.
What evidence suggests that there was outside assistance provided to the fugitives during the jailbreak?

The escape of the four inmates sparked a massive manhunt, with law enforcement agencies working tirelessly to locate and apprehend them. The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office, along with assistance from state and federal authorities, have been actively pursuing leads and conducting investigations to bring the fugitives to justice.
The capture of Marc Kerry Anderson is a significant step towards achieving that goal. The collaborative effort of the law enforcement officers involved demonstrates their dedication and commitment to ensuring public safety and upholding the rule of law.
In addition to Anderson’s arrest, 32-year-old Tymesha Ceiarra Timley was also taken into custody for allegedly hindering his capture. It is crucial that individuals who assist in the escape or evasion of criminals face appropriate legal consequences for their actions.
Timley is facing charges of aiding or permitting another to escape lawful custody or confinement, as well as hindering the apprehension or punishment of a criminal. These charges reflect the seriousness of her alleged involvement and highlight the importance of holding individuals accountable for their role in criminal activities.
The investigation into the escape and the subsequent arrests remains ongoing. Law enforcement authorities will continue to gather evidence, interview witnesses, and follow leads to ensure that justice is served in this case.
Furthermore, the video footage obtained from the day of the escape provides valuable insights into the planning and execution of the jailbreak. The presence of the blue Dodge Challenger and the tampering with the fence strongly suggest that there was outside assistance provided to the fugitives.
Authorities suspect that the items brought into the enclosed area by an unidentified individual were instrumental in facilitating the escape. The thorough examination of these items will shed light on their intended purpose and potentially lead to further arrests or uncover additional individuals involved in the escape plot.
The capture of Marc Kerry Anderson and the arrest of Tymesha Ceiarra Timley mark significant developments in the ongoing investigation into the central Georgia jailbreak. The tireless efforts and coordination among law enforcement agencies involved in this case are commendable and demonstrate their unwavering commitment to public safety.
As the investigation continues, it is crucial for the community to remain vigilant and report any information that may assist the authorities in their pursuit of justice. By working together, law enforcement and the public can ensure that those responsible for the escape are held accountable, and the safety and well-being of the community are preserved.
