Both jail workers were treated at a hospital and released, said deputy jailer 1st Lt. Josh Collett.
Police described Mosely as a 6-foot-1, 200-pound white male who’s bald and Price as a 5-foot-9, 170-pound white male with blondish brown hair. Both men are from Middlesboro, Kentucky, and have multiple tattoos including on their chests.
