Two inmates “at large” after escape from Sandoval County Detention Center

Two inmates escaped from the Sandoval County Detention Center late Friday night according to a spokesman for the Sandoval County Sheriff’s Department. Around 11:30 p.m. it was discovered that one of the inmates was missing, deputy Kieth Elder said. Shortly after that a second inmate was also discovered to be missing. One of the escapees is Paul Garcia, 25, who was arrested in February after stealing a van and killing a mother and daughter after he crashed into their vehicle. The other escapee, Blake McPherson, 21, was being held for motor vehicle theft and other theft charges from San Juan and San Miguel counties, Elder said. Elder said that both of the inmates are “still at large.”
