Last night, a tornado ripped through the state of Kentucky, killing 80 and leaving thousands without power or shelter. Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said the death toll could possibly exceed 100 as reports of more deaths continue to come in. Amidst the chaos, a prisoner on supervised work release was injured at a candle factory that was hit by the tornado. After being treated by the hospital, he simply walked out after the person assigned to supervise him, corrections officer Robert Daniel, died in the tornado. The inmates name is Graves County Jail Inmate Francisco âCiscoâ Starks.
Starks was serving time in the Graves County Jail for third-degree burglary, theft of an automobile and receiving stolen property. The jail had to evacuate 83 inmates due to damage from the tornado. While Starks fled from the scene, multiple other inmates helped rescue workers at the candle factory that he and other prisoners were working at.
âI donât know whoâs watching,â a woman is heard saying. âWe got hit by a hurricane. Iâm at work in Mayfield and we are trapped.â
