Prison escapee seen near Jacksonville

A dangerous convict escapes a Marion County prison -- and he's last seen near Jacksonville.

17-year-old Yarnel Bagley was seen leaving the La Quinta Inn on Blanding Boulevard three days after escaping prison last week.

The Marion County Sheriff's Office says Bagley is armed and he will not hesitate to use it.

Bagley is black, about 5'10", 160 lbs., and has a distinctive tattoo on his upper right arm with the words "love always" over the image of a headstone.

He was last seen wearing a white tank top and jeans.

If you see him, do not even think about approaching him.

You can call the Marion County task force command center annonymously at 352-671-3857 or Crime Stoppers at 352-368-7867 for a possible reward.

Or you can simply call 911.
