Four Inmates Flee Jail, Return With Beer
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20040720/ap_on_fe_st/inmates_beer&e=1

ROGERSVILLE, Tennessee - With their cell doors accidentally left unlocked, four county jail inmates escaped only to return the same night — with beer.

Ridgy Dean Coleman, Jimmy Joe Stapleton, David Wayne Blizzard and David Allen Hopkins escaped Thursday night when their cell block doors were unlocked and a faulty control panel failed to alert jailers, Rimer said.


Two of the inmates walked out through a fire exit, left the door propped open with a small Bible and made a hole in the exercise yard fence. They walked to a nearby market and bought the beer.

The inmates did not raise alarm at the store because they were wearing street clothes borrowed from other prisoners. The crowded jail doesn't have enough orange jumpsuits for all of its inmates.

3. I hope it wasn't Budweiser
And they brought back enough for all, how nice of them.

4. I knew at least ONE of them had to have the middle name "Wayne"
It was a given...

5. Doesn't this point to the basic decentness of people?
I don't know exactly why, but this made my day. I hope they bought something good, and not making-love-in-a-canoe beer....
