Shepard was originally jailed on charges including possession of fentanyl with intent to distribute, possession of a firearm and motor vehicle theft -- all felonies. He's only been charged in that case, not convicted, but court records indicate he was arrested in that case on or around May 24 and was in jail, being held on a $100,000.

After his alleged escape, Shepard approached a car before walking away, police said.
