Convicted Killer Escapes in Texas

HUNTSVILLE, Texas (APBNews.com) -- More than 200 lawmen trekked through swamps in 96-degree heat today tracking a convicted killer who slipped out of handcuffs, dodged gunfire and scaled three fences to escape from a maximum-security prison.

Two guards were escorting Clifford Dwayne Jones, 33, through the recreation yard of the Estelle High Security Prison Unit around 12:20 p.m. Sunday when Jones broke loose and made his mad dash for freedom, officials said today.

With the alarm sounding and guards firing at least twice, Jones scaled the exercise yard's chain-link fence, climbed a 12-foot perimeter fence topped with razor wire, then clambered up a lattice-work pole supporting a surveillance camera to jump a final 12-foot fence on his way to freedom, officials said.

Jones fled in the direction of the Trinity River, shedding his distinctive prison clothing somewhere along the way, authorities said.

And I thought them thar Texass folk could shoot straight. Or run and grab a fence scaler. Wonder what Jesse Ventura would say if it happened in MN....on second thought it wouldn't happen there due to fear of Ventura coming after them. <gg>

Wonder if that's how they came to call it "Huntsville"?
