If there’s one thing absolutely nobody can deny, it’s that the April 29, 2022, prison break by Alabama inmate Casey White was something straight out of a movie owing to the complexities involved. After all, as carefully explored in Netflix’s ‘Jailbreak: Love on the Run,’ correctional officer Vicky White (no relation) had engineered the entire thing upon starting a romantic involvement with him. Among the interviewees for the true crime documentary was one of Casey’s cellmates, Georgineo Lopez, who talked about his stance on the case.
Georgineo Lopez Was Charged With Various Minor Counts
Although a proud native of Chicago, Illinois, Georgineo primarily grew up in Florence, Alabama, where he not only attended local schools but also studied Law at the University of North Alabama. However, it doesn’t appear as if he was ever able to completely realize his dream of becoming an attorney, whether civil or corporate, especially as he soon found himself embroiled in legal troubles. He was arrested in 2018 for possession of a controlled substance, followed by a few minor counts, a 2021 conviction for domestic abuse/violence plus obstruction of justice by attempting to elude police, and a 2022 apprehension for escape as well as a public order bench warrant.
So it was while Georgineo was detained at the Lauderdale County Jail on one such occasion that he came across Casey White for the first time as a cellmate, just for them to build a close bond. That’s reportedly how the former actually learned the latter was awaiting trial on a capital murder charge, all the while noticing his romance with the detention center’s assistant director, Vicky. It turns out their relationship was genuine — the inmate never really coerced the officer into anything; it was a mutual relationship that ended with her facilitating his escape before dying by suicide to avoid capture 11 days later.
Georgineo Lopez Focuses on His Business and Spending Quality Time With His Loved Ones
Following his release from prison and completion of his court-ordered drug program in August 2023, Georgineo Lopez embarked upon a new chapter of his life with the aim of becoming the best possible version of himself. On the professional front, the resident of Florence, Alabama, runs his own construction business called Lopez Construction, which offers services such as remodeling, roofing, painting, concrete work, etc. He has been striving hard to achieve his personal and professional goals and make his people proud. After all, his world revolves around his family and friends as they serve as his biggest strength.
Having said that, Georgineo had to deal with some unpleasant experiences in early 2024. While he was in a relationship with a woman named Jaime Wardlow around March, they have since gone their separate ways. From what we can tell, they didn’t exactly end things on good terms. The last week of April shook his world when he got hit with the unfortunate news of the passing of one of his closest friends, Marshai Nichole, whom he regarded as his sister. Though it’s been months since her death, Georgineo feels her absence on a daily basis and misses her dearly.
He often takes to his social media profile to remember her spirit, promising to watch over her daughter, Ryah. “I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO JUST SEE A PICTURE SISTER,” he wrote in a post he shared in June. Despite the ups and downs, Georgineo considers himself lucky as he gets to enjoy immense love and support from his parents, extended relatives and circle of friends. As of today, he is leading a fulfilling life as an independent single man who is working hard to fulfill his dreams.
