NASHVILLE, Tenn. (CBS/AP) Someone had better call James Bond, because a creative Nashville woman allegedly hatched a jailbreak plot that involved a convicted gang leader directing his underlings to build a small helicopter and learn how to fly it. An arrest was made by federal agents this week. The Tennessean reported Friday that a judge Thursday bound the case against 35-year-old Faith Readus over to a grand jury and ordered her detained. She is accused in a criminal complaint of conspiring to aid in an attempt to spring Jamal Shakir from federal custody. Court records show Shakir's planned escape was part of a plot to renew his criminal enterprise known as the Rollin' 90 Crips. "Even jail bars don't necessarily stop communication and plots" between gang members, federal prosecutor Sunny A.M. Koshy told the newspaper. The woman's appointed attorney, Jennifer Thompson of Nashville, said at the hearing that such a plot was ridiculous. Thompson said it was "really outrageous she's being charged when the plan is to get a homemade helicopter kit and learn to drive the helicopter by taking a couple of classes." The defense attorney could not be reached by telephone for comment Friday. Read More. |
