More charges and arrests made in October inmate escape

More people have been arrested in connection to the escape of two convicted murderers from the Franklin correctional Institution earlier this year.

Inmates Joseph Jenkins and Charles Walker were serving life sentences for murder from Orange County. 

Both escaped from the Franklin Correctional Institution after the Department of Corrections received fraudulent release documents from the Orange County Clerk of Court.

Jenkins escaped on September 27th and Walker escaped on October 8th. 

Both men were recaptured in Panama City on October 19th.

A third inmate, 30 year old Jeffrey Forbes also used the scheme in 2011 to escape from prison – he is currently in the Florida State Prison and is facing new charges of escape, forgery, uttering a forgery and conspiracy to commit escape.

Since the October escape, FDLE has been investigating who else was involved in the scheme, and on Thursday they announced the arrest of more suspects. 

The suspects, all current and former Department of Corrections inmates, are charged with a combined 37 individual crimes.

48 year old Nydeed Nashaddai who is currently in the Suwannee Correctional Institution, is considered the engineer of the scheme.

He was the first to use it before passing his knowledge onto Jenkins and Forbes to help in their escape attempts.

Nashaddai is now facing 2 counts of conspiracy to commit escape and 2 counts principal to escape.

36 year old Willie Slater, who is currently in the Orange County Jail, helped on the outside ensuring the forged documents were delivered to the Orange County Clerk’s Office. 

He is charged with 2 counts of principal to escape, 2 counts conspiracy to commit escape, 4 counts uttering a forgery, 1 count tampering.

37 year old Terrance Goodman of Panama City, a friend of Jenkins, drove Jenkins and Walker to Panama City and rented them a motel room. 

He is now facing 1 count of harboring a fugitive and 2 counts of conspiracy to commit escape. 

Joseph Jenkins and Charles walker have also been charged with additional crimes including escape, principle to escape, conspiracy to commit escape, forgery, and uttering a forgery.
