(CNN) An inmate at a Chicago jail posed as a fellow detainee, put on a face mask and was mistakenly released, officials the Cook County Sheriff's Office said. Quintin Henderson, 28, was set to be released from the Cook County jail on May 2 "for a narcotics charge when he provided his personal information to Jahquez Scott for a promise of $1,000,' the sheriff's office said in a statement. "Scott, 21, wearing a mask, then used Henderson's full name and personal information to pose as Henderson and left custody on Henderson's I-bond," the statement said. "Jail staff learned there was a discrepancy when they did not have Henderson's paperwork when he provided his information for discharge," the statement said.
