PEORIA COUNTY, Ill. (WMBD) — A wanted Peoria man is on the run after getting out of jail by mistake.

The Peoria County Sheriff’s Office and U.S. Marshals Task Force are asking for assistance locating 44-year-old Jordan L. Watkins. He was indicted Tuesday on a charge of predatory sexual criminal assault, with bond set at $500,000.

At about 1 p.m. Wednesday, Watkins was mistakenly released due to an “administration error.” According to Captain Chris Watkins, he was in the same pod as someone with the same last name.

Watkins is 5’9” tall, 150 lbs, with brown eyes, and black hair. Watkins said the wanted man should be considered dangerous.

Thursday morning, Captain Watkins said detectives and task force members searched for the inmate throughout Wednesday night. He added that authorities were following up on tips they received.

Captain Watkins also said there will be no further updates until Jordan Watkins is in custody.
