Daytona Beach, FL – Authorities have stepped up the search for a convicted Flagler County felon who escaped from a Volusia County prison last Friday.
The United States Marshals have taken over the hunt for 24-year-old Gary W. Bullock Jr., according to Volusia County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Andrew Gant.
The Florida Department of Corrections issued an escape notice for Bullock Friday night after he fled from his job as a maintenance man at the El Caribe Resort & Conference Center in Daytona Beach Shores.
VCSO says Bullock was part of a work release program while staying at the Community Release Center that’s part of Tomoka State Prison.
Authorities think he was picked up at work by his girlfriend – 24-year-old Natasha Quigley of Bunnell – and both then fled the area with a 3-year-old boy in her white 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt with a Florida tag of EUJ L31.
Before leaving, Bullock reportedly cut off his ankle monitor and left it at the parking lot of the hotel, according to VCSO. FDOC received an alert around 3 PM Friday that Bullock’s GPS monitor had been removed and it was soon after that when VCSO was notified.
The pair is believed to be traveling with money, blank checks and a gun that Quigley allegedly stole from her parents’ home in Palm Coast.
FDOC Records show Bullock was convicted in 2010 on 7 different charges, all of them related to robbery, grand theft, burglary, drug possession and criminal mischief. He was in the middle of serving an 8-year prison sentence.
Bullock is described as a white man with black hair and brown eyes who stands 5’6, weighs around 175 pounds and has a tattoo with Japanese letters on his right arm. He’ll be charged with escape, destruction of an electronic monitor and criminal mischief once caught.
Quigley – a Bunnell resident – is a white woman who stands 5’6 and weighs around 175 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes. She’s facing an aiding escape charge.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is assisting VCSO, FDOC and the US Marshals in the investigation.
Authorities ask anyone with information on Bullock’s or Quigley’s whereabouts to call 911.
