HAMILTON — A Butler County Jail inmate scheduled to be released in six days is facing a lot more time behind bars after she ran away Tuesday morning.

        Shannon Michelle Rose, 29, of Hamilton was assigned to collect trash at the main jail but ran from an officer supervising the work, the sheriff's office said.

        Sheriff's officials said the incident occurred around 7:10 a.m.

        With the cooperation of Hamilton police, sheriff's deputies caught Ms. Rose about 45 minutes later near a Fair Avenue grocery store “while (she was) reportedly attempting to shoplift some cigarettes,” the sheriff's office said.

        When a Hamilton police officer asked Ms. Rose for her name, she replied, “Jennifer,” an arrest report said.

        “When she was asked if her name was Shannon, she began to fight to get away,” the sheriff said.

        “She fought for several minutes before she was taken into custody.”

        The report said she was so combative that officers were unable to obtain fingerprints when she was booked into a city holding cell.

        Ms. Rose had been locked up since July 30 on a criminal damaging charge and was scheduled for release Monday.

        Sheriff's officials lodged charges of felony escape and theft, and Hamilton police were holding her on charges of obstructing official business and resisting arrest.

        Ms. Rose is scheduled to appear today in Hamilton Municipal Court on those charges.

        The most serious charge she faces, escape, carries a sentence of six months to a year upon conviction.

        Investigators are trying to determine whether anyone outside the jail might have assisted Ms. Rose.

        The jail's last escape occurred in February. That inmate also was quickly recaptured, sheriff's spokesman Brad Kraemer said.
