Three men are facing federal charges for allegedly trying to escape from the Newaygo County Jail.

Court records filed this week show Timothy Calicutt, Jaron Morgan and Victor Garcia were each indicted on one count of conspiracy to escape from custody and one count of attempted escape from custody and aiding and abetting.

The three men were cellmates and they're accused of helping one another to get into a locked utility hatch and a hole in the drywall in the ceiling of their cell.
