TIPPECANOE COUNTY, Ind. (WLFI) - Tippecanoe County Prosecutor Pat Harrington announced Antonio Williams, Jeremy Gibson's alleged murderer, should have been in prison when the crime was committed.
Williams was released in March, four months before Gibson was murdered, and over a year before he was supposed to be released.
Harrington said Williams was scheduled to be released in August 2012, but was let out of the Plainfield Correctional Facility early by mistake.
Doug Garrison, Chief Communications Officer for the Indiana Department of Correction, said it was a miscalculation of sentencings and how much time Williams was supposed to serve that caused Williams to be released early.
Garrison also said in recent years, this same mistake has happened only two or three times.
