NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Thirty-two teens escaped from a Nashville youth detention center by crawling under a weak spot in a fence late Monday, and 10 of them were still on the run Tuesday, a spokesman said. The teens — ages 14 to 19 — left their rooms and went into a common area, where they overwhelmed 16 to 18 staff members and kicked out a metal panel under a window to get out of the building and into a yard, Tennessee Department of Children’s Services spokesman Rob Johnson said. Once in the yard, the teens realized they could lift part of the fence surrounding it and get out, Johnson said. Once staff members saw some of the group leaving, they called the police. The chain-link fence is buried 8 inches deep into the ground, but the teens managed to pull up one part and get out underneath, Johnson said. Read More. |
