INDIANAPOLIS — The Marion County Sheriff’s Office has made an arrest in relation to the accidental release of Kevin Mason, a man wanted for homicide.

Police arrested Desiree Oliver who they believe picked up Mason from the jail on September 13th. Oliver made multiple stops including a Walmart on North Keystone for Men’s underwear and a travel kit. They also stopped to acquire a new cellphone. Police say this is behavior often associated with aiding a criminal.

Sometime after the materials were gathered Mason got out of the car. Police have several homes under surveillance right now that they believe might be hiding Mason or would have information leading to his capture.

Police have also questioned Chaznia Dawson whom they suspect was also connected to Mason, she has not been arrested or charged with anything as of now.

During the press conference Forestal noted that the clerk who made the error allowing Mason to leave was terminated. He stressed that the clerks are short staffed, underpaid, and overworked. He says that isn’t an excuse, but situations like this will be happen as these conditions continue.
