Man in rehab arrested for escape

Jason Ard
A man in rehabilitation was arrested last week on an escape charge.
Jason Ard, 34 years old of Kellyton, was furloughed by a court order to a rehab facility. However, Sheriff Michael Howell reported that one day Ard left the rehab facility and did not return to rehab or the jail, which is required.
Therefore, last Monday, July 19, Ard was arrested on the charge of third-degree escape.
His bond was set at $10,000, and as of press time he remained in custody at the Coosa County Jail awaiting trial.
