The search is on for three men who escaped from the Pottawatomie County Jail in Shawnee on Tuesday. Authorities are looking for Joseph Henson, Brandon Farnell and Harley Scott.

Pottawatomie County officials say Henson was awaiting a transfer to a state prison on a child abuse conviction. Farnell was being held for eluding a police officer, and Scott was accused of embezzlement and DUI.

Authorities do not know if they are together.

If sighted, authorities ask you to contact your local police department or sheriff's office.
