CHICAGO (AP) - A series of escapes from the county jail was already bizarre: In one case, an inmate slipped into a laundry truck to flee. In another, a guard is accused of helping six others breaking out to boost the political campaign of a sheriff's candidate.
On Friday, the trend turned even more strange when Sheriff Michael Sheahan personally apprehended the latest fugitive, a woman who authorities said escaped from a hospital when her guard left to take a phone call.
The escape of Lawanda Warren, 40, who was being held on drug possession charges, was the third from Cook County Jail or its personnel in eight days.
