FALKVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) – The Morgan County Sherriff’s Office (MCSO) reported on Friday that an inmate drove away from the job site he was working at in Falkville.

Inmate Darrell Bruce Reeves, 42, of Hartselle was a Morgan County Jail trustee working for the town of Falkville when police say he walked away from the job site.

Reeves was in jail for drug charges which violated his parole.

The inmate was last seen near Jack McCaig Park in Falkville. Authorities say Reeves is bald, has no facial hair and had on a black hat, camouflage jacket and jeans.

Reeves rode away on what MCSO described as a side-by-side gator/Polaris-type vehicle.

If you see Reeves or have any information, you can contact the Morgan County Sherriff’s Office at (256)350-4613.

Drug charges and previous abuse of a corpse (not uncommon charge when a body someone attempts to hide a drug-related death, but with no details, I can't say what happened there, just my opinion as to the charge in general). Alabama man charged with abusing woman's corpse.

Drug charges? I guess those are the charges from his Oct'21 arrest in Morgan County. What happened to the abuse of a corpse charge he was arrested for in Feb'21 (linked below)? He was also arrested in 2017 for speeding and fleeing an officer. Most of the other arrests I found are for controlled substances and violating parole.

I wish they would offer another photo of him for people to watch for - the article in the OP says "Reeves is bald, has no facial hair" and he probably looks way different.
