Authorities are piecing together how five inmates escaped from St Francois County Jail in Missouri.
The suspects were identified as Kelly McSean, Dakota Dwayne Pace, Aaron Wade Sebastian, Lujuan Damien Tucker, and Michael Dean Wilkins.The inmates escaped from the the St. Francois County Jail in Farmington, about 75 miles south of St. Louis on Tuesday evening, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
Chief Sheriff's Deputy Gregory Armstrong told the newspaper that the inmates got into a cell that was supposed to be closed off due to plumbing repairs, removed the sink and toilet, climbed through the wall and made it down from the roof using a ladder that a contractor had left standing against the building. Jail cameras that would have captured them leaving were down due to the construction.
After escaping from the jail, the inmates ran to an office building parking lot and somehow found a car with the keys in it and a full tank of gas. "They just got lucky," Armstrong said. "It's a black eye, of course, that we didn't want. Sometimes things happen."
