Security Footage Reveals How Ohio Inmates Used Dumpster to Pull Off Prison Break |
2023-12-10 |
[Messenger] Newly released security footage from an Ohio Prison reveals how two inmates dove into a dumpster to make their escape. When Bradley Gillespie, 50, and James Lee, 47, slipped away from the Allen Oakwood Correctional Facility in Lima on May 22, they had a 24-hour head start, according to an internal investigation by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. The two climbed into a Dumpster that was later picked up by the trash company and removed from the prison that morning. After a mid-morning count of inmates on May 23 came up short, guards discovered objects under the blankets in Gillespie's bed to make it look like he was sleeping, along with a handwritten note mentioning the escape. Security footage uncovered during the investigation showed Gillespie and Lee climbing out of the container at a refuse transfer station and fleeing on foot. The two were spotted by law enforcement officers in Kentucky on May 24 in a vehicle that had been reported stolen. After a chase, the car carrying Gillespie and Lee crashed, and police nabbed Lee, who had been driving. |
