It worked -- for a while. A man on his way into jail walked right back out again by posing as another inmate waiting to be released. Authorities in Arkansas say Fabian Villalobos was sitting in a booking room at the Washington County Jail Sunday, waiting to enter. But when a jailer called out the name of another inmate to be released, Villalobos stood up. He signed a jail release form and walked out of the gates, along with the other man's ID and $239. The mistake was discovered because the other inmate's bail bondsman was waiting outside and saw Villalobos exit and sprint down the street. Villalobos was picked up a day later. A sheriff's department spokesman says security and I-D procedures are being reviewed. |
