Prisoner flees after asking guard way out

October 2nd, 2009 Wade Leave a comment Go to comments

A New York prisoner has come up with a much easier way to break out of jail: ask the guards for the exit.

The inmate, who was wearing a suit for a court appearance on charges of multiple store robberies, simply wandered out of an open cell door and into a courtroom on Wednesday, the New York Post daily reported.

There, he calmly asked a court officer “which way is out?” and the guard – mistaking the escapee for a lawyer – directed him to the lobby.

The daring jailbird went straight to his 81-year-old mother’s Manhattan home to change clothes, then left, she told the Post.

“I thought he was discharged. He was all dressed up,” she said.
