POPLARVILLE, Miss. - Police nabbed a woman who allegedly helped her husband break out of jail by shooting a guard and then leading authorities on a high-speed chase that left a second officer wounded. <br>
<br>
The escaped inmate, Fredrick Henry Suttle, remained on the loose late Sunday, officials said. His wife, Marie Terrisa Novak, 37, was found by authorities in a wooded area where the couple fled. <br>
<br>
Police said blood on the steering wheel of the couple's car and bullet holes in the window suggest Suttle could be wounded. <br>
<br>
Suttle and Novak were saying goodbye after a morning visit when the prisoner made his break, officials said. The visit occurred in an area outside the Pearl County jail where visitors speak to inmates through a chain-link fence with a guard nearby. <br>
<br>
Deputies said Suttle was chased by jailer William Davis, who caught him and wrestled the inmate to the ground. <br>
<br>
As the two were scuffling, deputies say Novak pulled a pistol she smuggled into the jail and allegedly shot the jailer at least once in the leg. <br>
<br>
``The officer that was shot, they took his keys to let themselves out of the gate,'' Sheriff Joe Stuart said. <br>
<br>
Suttle and Novak then jumped in her car and headed north, firing at the police cruiser of a deputy who was pursuing the couple. Authorities said one bullet went through the cruiser's windshield. <br>
<br>
The deputy and the jailer were both taken to hospitals for treatment. The sheriff's office would not release any information on their conditions. <br>
<br>
Officials say the couple abandoned their car near the community of Henleyfield and fled into the woods. <br>
<br>
``When the female exited the vehicle, she was still firing at the officer,'' Stuart said. <br>
<br>
Police set up a command post there and searched for the two with dogs and a helicopter. <br>
<br>
Suttle was being held for allegedly running a methamphetamine lab, officials said. <br>
