The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) is actively searching for Jacob Allen Morley, an escaped inmate currently at large, following reports of a bank robbery in Wisconsin. Morley escaped from the Northwest Correctional Complex in Lake County, Tennessee, early Monday, stealing a white 2008 Ford F-350 truck. That vehicle was later discovered abandoned in Marion, Illinois, with no evidence suggesting Morley remained in that area. Authorities are now investigating a separate incident in Deerfield, Wisconsin, where a gunman robbed the Bank of Deerfield at gunpoint on Tuesday. The suspect demanded money, restrained two employees, and fled in a stolen Lincoln MKZ, which was subsequently found unoccupied on State Farm Road. While the TBI is aware of the Wisconsin robbery, they have not yet confirmed a direct link to Morley, though they are pursuing all potential leads. Morley is serving a life sentence with the possibility of parole for the 2022 murder of Cody Birchfield in Carter County. The U.S. Marshal for the Western District of Tennessee, Tyreece Miller, has urged the public to assist in the manhunt, emphasizing that Morley’s sentence remains active. A reward of $15,000 has been offered for information leading to his arrest. Friends of the victim have described Morley as dangerous and warned the public not to approach him. The TBI has placed Morley on the Tennessee Most Wanted list and advises anyone with information to call 1-800-TBI-FIND immediately. In Wisconsin, investigators are asking anyone with tips regarding the bank robbery to call (608) 255-2345. The manhunt remains ongoing across multiple states as law enforcement agencies coordinate efforts to locate the fugitive.
