A Garvin County jail inmate escaped Sunday night from the courthouse in Pauls Valley, the Garvin County sheriff's office reported Monday morning.

He is about 5-feet, 11-inches tall, about 150 pounds, is of stocky build, has tattoos on his chest and back of both arms, has hazel eyes and short brown hair with a short growth beard.

About 9:30 a.m., Willis was being escorted by a detention deputy in the courthouse when Willis physically assaulted the deputy. Willis ran out through the emergency exit. The deputy suffered minor injuries, the sheriff's office said.

Willis was last seen running east from the jail.
