A Hopkinsville woman reportedly helped a man who escaped from the Christian County Work Release Detention Program.
Hopkinsville Police say 18-year-old Malika Weaver of Hopkinsville was sleeping in a home on Cypress Street where 22-year-old Calvin Merritt Jr. of Hopkinsville was found Friday morning.
Merritt reportedly escaped from the work release program Tuesday night.
Weaver had told officers that she would turn Merritt in for the reward money days prior.
Merritt fled out a bedroom window and was arrested after a pursuit that ended on West Edmonds Street.
