Guilford County Inmate Recaptures Prompt Scrutiny

In High Point, North Carolina, Jessie Dale Steed was mistakenly released from jail but quickly recaptured on the same day. This incident follows another improper release in Guilford County, where Carlos Geovany Diaz-Gomez escaped by using another inmate's identity. The Guilford County Sheriff's Office faced criticism for not immediately notifying the public about Diaz-Gomez's escape. Diaz-Gomez, originally jailed for multiple charges including misdemeanor DWI and felony common law robbery, was recaptured in Winston-Salem. The Sheriff's Office cited staffing shortages as a contributing factor to these errors. A press conference is scheduled to address these incidents.
