Inmate John Nigh escaped Craven County Jail with help, prompting a multi-agency search.

An inmate, John Matthew Nigh, escaped from the Craven County Jail with help from his cellmates. They removed a ceiling grating to access the roof, and the cellmates hid Nigh's absence by stuffing a mattress to mimic his presence. Nigh, a 6'2" white male with tattoos, was previously arrested for shooting at deputies. Authorities consider him dangerous, and a search involving local and federal agencies is underway. Anyone with information should contact the Craven County Sheriff's Office.
