WALLACE, Idaho (AP) — Authorities say an inmate jailed on burglary charges escaped by working his way through a ceiling crawl space in a utility room to reach the lobby.
Shoshone County Sheriff Mitch Alexander tells KXLY-TV in Spokane, Washington, that one employee and a trainee were working at the jail in Wallace, Idaho, when 48-year-old Roy Bieluch escaped recently. He says funding limitations led to the staffing levels.
Bieluch hasn’t been found, and a nationwide warrant has been issued for his arrest. Alexander says deputies arrested a woman they believe assisted Bieluch after
his escape.
Video from a jail security camera shows the inmate bursting out of a closet just as a cleaning woman starts to open the door.
