Inmate Escapes Jail By Swallowing Pens


Story out of Daviess County, Indiana:

Police in Indiana are searching for an inmate who escaped Monday night from a hospital where he was being treated after swallowing two pens, officials say.

Officials say Shane Michael Alan Cates, 23, escaped from the Daviess Community Hospital in Washington, Ind., at some point before 10:54 p.m., when the sheriff's department was notified.

Daviess County Sheriff Jerry Harbstreit told 48 Hours' Crimesider Tuesday that Cates broke through a window, and ran down a hallway where he broke another second floor window, allowing him to jump a short distance down to a roof. From there, he was likely able to climb down to a large air conditioning unit with a ladder attached to it. Cont.
