Edward Manning, a 30 year old black male, was released from jail at about 10:50 P.M. on a personal recognizance (PR) bond. The name of the inmate that was supposed to be released was Jeffrey Manning. Deputies with Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office have made contact with Edward Manning via cell phone, to turn himself in, but he refused. An order to remand was issued for EdwardManning and law enforcement in Montgomery and Harris Counties are actively looking for him. Edward was originally arrested on Felony Assault-Family Violence and was eligible for release with a bond of $20,000.
