Murphy is alive and well. Shit happens. Sometimes, however, that reality just doesn't explain how completely and totally fucked up a situation became.
Todd Wayne Boyes, 44, was as guest of the people at the regional hospitality center (jail) in Charleston, W.V. until recently. He walked out of the jail wearing khaki pants and a green jacket, apparently successfully passing as an employee. Since he is 5-6 and 220# one might be tempted to think the clothing, which fit him OK (there is video) was provided for him somehow. What is even more interesting is they didn't notice he was gone for almost two days. He walked out on Wednesday but was not noticed to be missing until Thursday evening.
Boyes was arrested in the Lone Star State attempting to cross into Mexico.
He was initially charged with attempted murder of a police officer but copped to a lesser charge. He was two days shy of being sentenced before he beat feet.
I can't help but think that there is either a very large, very basic flaw in their jail operation or some of the basic rules of Jail 101 were being routinely violated.
Four jail employees have been suspended without pay pending investigation. (I hear the coal mines are hiring again.)
