Texas County inmate on the run

A Texas County prisoner is on the run after he overpowered a guard on Monday.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol said Christopher Hunt, 33, has a violent history and has been known to assault officers.

He was last seen wearing a green and white-striped uniform and has numerous tattoos on his body, including “Tough Times” on his hands.

On Monday, he overpowered a prison transport guard near Edgar Springs in Phelps County and drove away in the silver transport vehicle.

The vehicle was later recovered on a county road, but Hunt was still missing as of Monday night.

Highway Patrol used a helicopter in the area, but to no avail.

If you see Hunt, you are encouraged to call 911 immediately.
