   After searching the immediate area around Butler, a city of about 2,000 residents in southwest Alabama, authorities have expanded the search for the three men -- Demarcus Woodard, 23; Germayel Culbert, 32; and Justin Terrell Gordon, 23, -- to other areas. 
   
   Both Woodard and Culbert were jailed for murder charges, and Gordon is charged for an armed robbery. 
   
   In a brief phone interview, Choctaw County Sheriff Tom Abate said the FBI and U.S. Marshals Service are assisting in the search. 
   
   "I've got three bad inmates, two capital murders and one armed robber, who are on foot. They took off from the jail," Abate said, adding he didn't have time to discuss the matter further. 
   
   According to a report from CNN this morning, authorities are looking for capital murder defendants Demarcus Woodward, 23, who is accused of killing a work release inmate, and Culbert, who allegedly participated in the killing of two people in a separate incident. 
   
   And Gordon was involved with the alleged armed robbery of a convenience store, according to the report 
   
   The inmates in the cell attacked the guard by choking him and stole his keys and cell phone before running away, Abate told CNN. 
   
   Tracking dogs led law enforcement about a quarter-mile along State Highway 17 in Butler, according to the report. Abate said he believes they got into a vehicle at that point. 
   
   The jail guard was treated and released at a local hospital, the sheriff told CNN. 
   
   Police urge anyone with information to call the Choctaw County Sheriff's Department at (205) 459-2166.

   3 inmates are held in one cell; 1 screams, says another is sick, sheriff says 
   
   The inmates jump a jailer, then fled on foot, the Choctaw County Sheriff adds 
   
   The jailer, who was allegedly choked, was treated at a nearby hospital, he says 
   
   Two men charged with murder and another being held on armed robbery charges escaped early Saturday from a rural Alabama county jail, a local sheriff said. 
   
   The three were locked down together in a single cell around 2 a.m. (3 a.m. ET) when one started screaming, saying another of them was very sick, Choctaw County Sheriff Tom Abate said. The jailer looked through a porthole, saw someone vomiting, then opened the cell door. 
   
   When he did, the inmates jumped the jailer, stole his keys and cell phone, then fled on foot, according to Abate. 
   
   Local authorities using tracking dogs tracked the escaped inmates about one-quarter mile away down State Highway 17 in Butler, Alabama, where Abate said they were either picked up or had a vehicle waiting for them. 
   
   The two escapees who were being held on capital murder charges, for separate incidents, are 23-year-old Demarcus Woodward for allegedly fatally shooting a work release inmate and 32-year-old Gemayel Culbert for his involvement in the killing of two people at a private club in northern Choctaw County. The other escapee is Terrell Gordon, 23, who is charged with armed robbery in connection with a convenience store theft. 
   
   Alabama's state Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Marshals from Mobile and local authorities all have roles in the manhunt. 
   
   The jailer who these inmates allegedly choked was treated and released at an area hospital, Abate said Saturday morning. 
   
   Choctaw County, with population of fewer than 14,000, is in southwestern Alabama, bordering Mississippi.

Prior to the escape, one of the three began shouting in the cell, saying a cellmate was ill, the Choctaw County sheriff says. A guard checked up on them to find that one was throwing up, CNN reports. He opened the cell door, and the men attacked him, grabbing his keys and cell phone, the sheriff says. The guard was hospitalized and released after allegedly being choked. Now, authorities are looking for Demarcus Woodard, 23, Gemayel Culbert, 32, and Justin Terrell Gordon, 23, the Choctaw Sun-Advocate reports.
