FORT SUPPLY, Okla. — The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says three inmates remain on the loose after escaping from the William S. Key Correctional Center in northwestern Oklahoma.

Prison officials say 20-year-old Dennis Finch, 22-year-old Jake Trout and 20-year-old Christopher Hibl escaped about 10:15 p.m. Friday from the prison at Fort Supply.

The OHP said Monday the three are still considered armed and dangerous. Authorities believe the three broke into a home Saturday near Fargo where guns and clothing were taken.

Finch was serving time for second-degree burglary and Trout for second-degree burglary, forgery, escape, bogus checks and hunting from a moving vehicle. Hibl was convicted of possession of stolen property and attempting to elude officers.
