Tanya Apple, 45, and Nichole Sexton, 33, each pleaded not guilty to escape charges in Clark County Municipal Court on Monday. Bond was set at $5,000 for each inmate.
A sheriff’s deputy was escorting another inmate from one of the jail pods to a visit at about 5:20 p.m. Sunday, according to court records. The inmate allegedly told the deputy they needed to do a check in the pod because “they’re doing bad things in there.”

Sexton was allegedly found by deputies on top of a bunk trying to close a vent door that was hanging down from the ceiling. Inmates inside the pods allegedly told deputies Apple was also involved in opening the vent doors, the report said.
Both Sexton and Apple were placed in isolation cells, it said.
