POCAHONTAS, Ark. — A Pocahontas man opened his door to an escaped inmate from the Randolph County Jail Monday evening.

“When she started knocking, I was at the kitchen table and I just walked over and opened up the door,” Mathews explained. “She didn’t say nothin’, she just bolted in!”

Escaped inmate, Cheri Ann Burman, still in her county jail clothes, barged into Mathew’s home in Pocahontas.

“She said ‘I just escaped from jail’ and I said ‘You can’t be here!’” David Mathews told Region 8 News. “Then, she wanted clothes to change out of the county jail clothes and tried to take my clothes and I wouldn’t give ‘em up!”
