Sheriff's Deputies Hunt Prison Escapee

POSTED: 4:03 pm PST November 17, 2008

San Diego Sheriff's deputies are searching for an escaped inmate they say came up with an intricate scheme to get out of prison.

Deputies said Tuan Tran switched identification bracelets with an inmate with the same last name.

The other inmate was scheduled to be bailed out of custody.

When bail was posted, Tran was released, wearing the wristband of the other inmate.

Authorities believe Tran is still in San Diego. He was in prison for burglary and fraud.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to contact Crime Stoppers’ anonymous tip line at (888) 580-TIPS. You can also email or text anonymously at SDCrimeStoppers.com if you have any information.

CrimeStoppers is offering up to a $1,000 reward to anyone with information that leads to a felony arrest.
