Dewayne McCloud reportedly failed to meet a security check around 5:30 p.m. Saturday. Authorities locked down the facility, but could not locate him inside. Several law enforcement agencies, including the DeKalb County sheriff's office and police department, searched for McCloud for hours in the surrounding area, but the effort turned up nothing. At one point even a K9 unit was brought in to track McCloud to no avail.
