Does the red uniform mean that he is/was an escapee and requires additional scrutiny and security?
21 minutes of freedom gets you 15 years in Florida. Enjoy the extra time.
@as always good job CO’s and deputies,
seriously lady. a good job would have been never letting
him escape in the first place.
And I absolutely agree, these ne’er-do-wells SHOULD NEVER
be allowed to work anywhere near children are or could be
Y’all have a nice day
He was just looking for his 5 minutes of fame
@ Billy
At least 5 years.
I agree with Concerned Grandma. There are three schools and a playground there. I understand needing the labor to perform upkeep, but places like this should be off-limits for criminal work gangs. This individual’s attempted escape could have gone much differently. We certainly don’t wat to see a possible hostage situation develop due to this kind of short-sighted planning.
Nice move, buddy… welcome back to a cell. Not only will he get an extra charge and jail time for that, he’ll never be able to be on an offsite work crew detail again with the escape on his record, even the next time he’s in jail or if he goes to prison.
My first thought is why are these work crews allowed to work next to three schools and a park where many children play?! We need to keep our children safe. Are there not any rules that prisoner work crews should be kept a certain distance from schools?
WOW 21 minutes of freedom, How many more months did that coast him?
Hey Dude….pink and red does not look good on you. Neither does that awful haircut.
Pink is the new color……
I feel sorry for this guy’s mother wondering why her son’s brain never matured.
As always, good job to our CO’S and Deputies who never let their guard down. God bless you all everyday in every way.
State Prison time only gets harder when you have an “escape” status attached to your recorded. I doubt that 21 minutes of running was worth the extra time he has added to his sentence.
