DETROIT - Authorities searched Friday for a Michigan prison inmate who was recently transferred to Ohio to face drug charges but was improperly released after posting bond. Talleon Brazil has been free since $50,000 bond was posted on Jan. 21 in Scioto County, Ohio, said Chris Gautz, a spokesman at the Michigan Corrections Department. The Corrections Department released him to Ohio authorities to face drug charges that were pending in Scioto County. The Scioto County prosecutor, Shane Tieman, said it’s no surprise that a bond was set for Brazil. The issue is why the local jail released him when he’s still under a Michigan prison sentence.
