Gaston County Police Arrest Inmate After Mistaken Release - Charlotte News: "Police in Gaston County found an inmate Sunday evening who they said was accidentally released from jail Friday.
Police said the release of Robert McDowell was a mistake. According to our newspaper partner the Gaston Gazette, police started searching the Highland community for McDowell shortly after they realized that the wrong inmate had been released from jail.
According to officers, 27-year-old McDowell looks like a man who was supposed to make bond. Police said when that man's name was called, McDowell responded and was escorted out of the jail. The bail bondsman who posted bail for him discovered the mistake.
The man who was supposed to be released was actually in another part of the jail. Sheriff Alan Colinger said the mistake was the fault of his office. An internal investigation will determine if any disciplinary charges will be filed."
