The Twiggs County Sheriff's Office is warning everyone to be on the lookout for a man they say escaped from jail in southeast Georgia.

Chad Everette Dasher is reported to be armed and dangerous, and law enforcement asks anyone who sees him to call 911 right away. He's about 5'9" and weighs about 140 lbs. Sheriff Darren Mitchum says multiple agencies have multiple warrants out for Dasher.

Sheriff Mitchum said his office was responding to a call about a suspicious person on Highway 96 around 1:44 a.m. Thursday, according to a news release. While on the way, that deputy came up on a scene that appeared to be an accident. The deputy ran the tag on the vehicle, and found it was stolen from Long County, Georgia. When the deputy contacted the Long County Sheriff's Office, investigators told him they believe Dasher stole that vehicle after escaping jail in Tattnall County in northwest of Long County.

"I just don't believe in the word 'can't' because that's one word I ain't never seen in the Bible, 'can't,'" Estella Sams says.

The entrepreneur doesn't let much stop her, but for almost 60 of her 75 years, there's one thing that's slowed the Jeffersonville native down.

She left school in 1956, even though her mother told her not to.

"She tried to get me to go on to school, but no, I wanted to get married, so I stopped, " Sams said.

Like Sams, more than one out of every four Twiggs County residents struggles with literacy.

She runs her own catering business with help from her family, but says it kept her out of a traditional job.
