Man Serving Life For Murder Is Captured After Accidental Release

A man serving a life prison sentence for a murder that happened in Chattanooga is back in custody after he was accidentally released.

Authorities said Edgar Bailey Jr., 35, was captured on Friday night at his father's house in the Metro Atlanta area.

Bailey was inadvertently released from the South Central Correctional Facility in Clifton, Tn., on April 22.


He was then placed on the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's 10 Most Wanted List.

Bailey was involved in a homicide that occurred on June 19, 2001, with two other defendants in Chattanooga.

He has a lengthy criminal history that dates back to 1991 and is from the Alpharetta, Ga., area.

He was on the TBI’s Top Ten Most Wanted list in 2003 when he fled from authorities on the original first-degree murder charge. He was captured in Gwinnett County, Ga.

Jail erroneously releases violent gang member

Allegedly the WCSO allowed a violent gang member to be bailed, although he had a federal detainer on him. The inmate Gary Myers AKA "Cowboy" was bailed and has not been heard from since. Myers is suppose to be an extremely violent drug dealer and gang leader from Jamaica, who was well known to the feds and Jamaican authorities. He was finally arrested in the Worcester on drug trafficking charges (Gary Myers, 26, of 16 Boardman St., Worcester, charged with distribution of cocaine, trafficking in cocaine, and conspiracy to violate a drug law, continued to Dec. 4 on $5,000 cash bail; two counts of distribution of cocaine and two counts of conspiracy to violate a drug law, continued to Dec. 4.) and was suppose to be turned over to the feds if bailed, however the jail allowed him to be bailed, somehow overlooking the fact he was wanted by the Feds and had a ICE detainer in place??
