Two would-be escapees who were foiled in their plot to break out of Warren County Jail have been hit with felony charges.The inmates, Joshua Edward Neal, 25, and Thomas Dwayne Gay, 27, have both been charged with felony attempted escape and will face preliminary hearing later this month.Their charges come after guards at the jail heard an unusual noise coming from the cell block.“The officers heard a racket coming from the cell,” said Sheriff Jackie Matheny, referring to the first-floor cell where Neal and Gay were being housed. “An officer then went outside and looked up and was able to see Mr. Neal’s face in the window.”Matheny explained the men would have had to get through bars even after being able to get through the window of their cell. The escape was foiled after the men had worked their way around the window’s seal.After seeing the activity in the window, officer went to the cell and conducted a surprise inspection.
