WARREN, Pa. (AP) — Authorities are searching for an inmate described as “very dangerous” who officials say escaped from a jail in northwestern Pennsylvania using bed sheets. Warren police say Michael Burham was last seen wearing a blue denim coat and an orange jail jumpsuit but had likely changed clothes. Police say Burham was being held on arson and burglary charges and was a suspect in a homicide investigation. They say he is also associated with a prior carjacking and kidnapping of a local couple. Authorities say he escaped using bed sheets tied together. Local, state and federal agencies are involved in the search.
