Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart says, it’s not his fault an inmate was set free by mistake.
Jeremiah Harris was supposed to return to Stateville to finish serving a 12-year sentence for being an armed habitual criminal.
He was brought back into custody after the mistaken release was discovered. CBS 2′s Suzanne Le Mignot takes a look at how this could even happen.
“This was not ours and I’m not going to sit back and take the blame,” said Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart.
Dart says inmate Jeremiah Harris’ paperwork from the Illinois Department of Corrections never said he needed to be returned to custody after a court appearance to continue serving a 12-year prison sentence.
