Father of escaped inmate arrested for helping son get away
The father of a dangerous Osceola County inmate who escaped from the jail on Friday has now taken his son's place behind bars.
Osceola County investigators say 21-year-old Michael Rigby ran two miles to his grandmother's home after getting out of the jail. The grandmother then allegedly called the fugitive's father, Brian Rigby (pictured right), who gave his son a car and money to aid his escape.
The elder Rigby is now being held on no bond.
Detectives say they believe Michael Rigby is no longer in Florida and may be with a girlfriend from out of state. He might be traveling in a red Mitsubishi Mirage with black rims and and tinted windows. The car may have a Tennessee license tag with the number 4H15251.
Rigby (pictured left) was awaiting trial on a charge of attempted murder. He's described as a black male, approximately 5'11", 170 lbs.
