Jahquez Scott | Cook County sheriff's office
The FBI is offering a $2000 reward for information leading to the arrest of a detainee who escaped the Cook County Jail by disguising himself as another inmate.
Jahquez Scott escaped the jail May 2 after allegedly promising to pay another man $1,000 to agree to let him steal his identity to secure release, according to Cook County sheriff’s office spokeswoman Sophia Ansari.
Scott, 21, had been arrested the day before on a weapons charge while on parole for battery of an officer, according to the Cook County state’s attorney’s office.
