Prisoner Captured During Carjacking After Attempted Escape
SPRINGFIELD TENNESSEE: (Smokey Barn News) – An inmate incarcerated at the Robertson County Detention Facility in Springfield exploited a previously unknown flaw in the facility’s design Tuesday evening and managed to escape for a short time.
The inmate made it down to Memorial Blvd where he attempted to hijack a vehicle, however, he apparently selected the wrong vehicle. Inside the vehicle was Rita Stone and her daughter Antonia Stone and neither one had any intention of complying with the man’s demands. “I tried to get to his eyes,” Antonia told Smokey Barn News. See video for the full interview.
It was an all out war over the vehicle between the inmate and the mother and daughter from Kentucky. The scuffle gave a very fast and courageous Deputy time to catch up to the inmate and tase him. “The Robertson County Sheriff’s Department, 
especially that young Deputy did an amazing job apprehending the inmate,” said Springfield Detective Rickie Morris.
The Sheriff”s Office released the following Statement:
Deputies from the Robertson County Sheriff’s office observed an inmate on the roof this evening. Immediately the emergency action escape plan went into effect. A deputy at the rear of the building observed the inmate jump off the roof and went into a foot pursuit and chased the inmate down to Memorial Blvd in Springfield. The Deputy was able to apprehend the inmate as he was trying to steal a car and the subject is in custody and back at the facility. The inmate was able to escape via a previously unknown design flaw that will be rectified immediately.
