From the Glynn County Sheriff’s Department:
”At approximately 5:30 p.m. on 12/13/2021 two female inmates (29 year-old Amanda Shiver and
38 year-old Belinda Ballard) escaped from custody while on a supervised Courthouse cleaning
detail. Both inmates fled on foot to a vehicle parked at the Veterans Memorial Park across the
street from the Courthouse. There, a male (46 ycar-old Kristopher Kashula) accomplice to the
escape was waiting in a vehicle. However, Part-time Glynn County Sheriff's Deputy Craig
Brown confronted the accomplice who quickly surrendered himself.
Meanwhile, the female inmates drove or were driven away in a get-away vehicle. They
ultimately wrecked the vehicle and fled on foot near the 500 block of R Street in the City of
Brunswick. The Brunswick Police Department who were of tremendous assistance to the
Sheritt's Oftice responded quickly with a tracking dog and multiple officers and located the
female inmates hiding under a house. The female inmates were quickly captured and taken back
into custody.
The female inmates have both been charged with a felony count of escape and the male
accomplice has been charged with a felony count of aiding or permitting another to escape lawful
custody or confinement. There is an on-going investigation to determine if there were additional
accomplices to the escapes.”
