AMERICAN FALLS, Idaho (AP) — Power County Sheriff Jim Jeffries says two inmates considered violent and dangerous escaped from the Power County Jail in American Falls in eastern Idaho Sunday morning.

Jeffries says Gilberto Delgado and Rodolfo Ortega took jail keys from a guard and escaped between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m.

Delgado is described as 6 feet tall and 200 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing Levis and a black long sleeve shirt.

Ortega is 5-foot-3 and 170 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a white shirt, blue pants and white shoes.

Jeffries says the two men should not be approached, but anyone who sees them should call 911.
