The Following Story is Not to be Taken Lightly
Shane Sartin broke out of Webster County Jail last week by using a string of Christmas lights to climb down from a third-story exercise area in the county courthouse. Of course, the majority of Christmas lights are designed to be hung by people and not hung on to by people and, as you would suspect, they broke.
Sartin took this personal tragedy, and the injured back that ensued, lightly and still managed to get away, changing from his orange prison jumpsuit to sweats and T-shirt. Nonetheless, he was picked up by officers less than 24 hours after his escape and taken to hospital to have his back injury assessed.
