A 32-year old inmate, Brandy Majors, was reported missing by the Marion County Sheriff's Office. While police were still searching for the missing inmate, she spoke to Fox59 News' Russ McQuaid, who tells an entirely different story. Majors was arrested on Thursday for an outstanding arrest warrant, but she claimed it was a case of mistaken identity. Her purse was stolen last September and someone has been committing crimes using her identity. On Friday, she says a sheriff's deputy escorted her from her cell, returned her personal belongings to her and released her from the Marion Co. jail. She assumed that they had figured out the mistaken identity claim she explained was confirmed by the sheriffs department. After news reports claimed she had escaped from the mail, Majors' husband contacted Fox59 News' Russ McQuaid, who met her and her husband at a park near Fountain Square where she told McQuaid her story before McQuaid called the Sheriff's Department and attempted to explain what happened. A sheriff's deputy arrive shortly thereafter and arrested her, saying she was wanted on two outstanding felonies. Russ is the hero of the day. The sheriff's department has egg all over their faces.
UPDATE: Fox59 News is reporting that Majors has now been transferred to Hendricks County authorities where she is accused of committing theft. The victim of the alleged theft insist that Majors is the person who committed the crime, insisting this is not a case of mistaken identity.Any source
