Valentine's Day jail break: Inmate escapes to see his sweetheart
http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Latest-News-Wires/2014/0215/Valentine-s-Day-jail-break-Inmate-escapes-to-see-his-sweetheartAn Arizona jail inmate who escaped by climbing two walls and crawling through razor wire and was reportedly trying to meet his sweetheart on Valentine's Day is back in custody.
The Pinal County Sheriff's office says in a release that inmate Joseph Andrew Dekenipp was caught a few hours after he escaped Friday from the county detention center.
The office says he would undergo treatment for serious cuts he got from the wire before being returned to the lockup.
The Arizona Republic reports that the 40-year-old Dekenipp would have had to scale 12-feet of fence, crawl through razor wire, and scale another wire-topped fence in order to escape the prison.
