Cripples Escape from Nashville Metro Jail

Somehow, the local news hadn't mentioned that 2 of the 3 recent escapees are amputees (Cripples for the non PC crowd). NASHVILLE, Tennessee (AP) -- Three inmates, two with artificial limbs, escaped from jail by squeezing through an 8-inch gap onto the roof and using bed sheets to descend three stories. Two were captured Monday. William Clay Bohanan, 40, Berl Keith McKinnie, 38, and Billy Leo Potts Jr., 39, fled Saturday night from a special needs cell at the medium- and maximum-security jail in Nashville. Left behind in the inmates' beds were dummies made by stuffing newspapers into jail-issued orange jumpsuits, authorities said. UPDATE:The last remaining amputee inmate was captured near music row last night. He was found sitting on a retaining wall and was waiting for deputies to "take him home". -sigh. |
