McDonald County authorities want to know why two inmates broke out of jail, then tried to sneak back inside a couple of hours later. Did they go on a beer run? That's one of the things Sheriff Robert Evenson is trying to figure out. The sheriff won't say what their motives were. He says Justin Forcum and Eric Bishop got out of jail by making a hole in the ceiling of their cell, then knocking out an exterior wall. The damage has been repaired. The inmates tried to sneak back in the same way. They're now facing escape charges. Officers are also investigating a stolen vehicle taken from the Pineville area to see if it was connected to the jail break. The sheriff says he's only heard of this kind of thing happening a couple of times before.
