Disguised inmate escapes from Ariz. jail

A dangerous inmate has escaped from one of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Maricopa County jails.
Authorities are searching for 22-year-old Luis Lopez-Erives.
Investigators think he likely hid inside a food cart and was wheeled outside the Towers Jail in southwest Phoenix.
Inmate clothing was found in a nearby dumpster.
A jail commander thinks "he slipped out with them."
Lopez-Erives was arrested in August after Phoenix police say he and another man led them on a chase through golf courses, neighborhood streets and around the Biltmore.
One man was shot during the incident and a Phoenix police officer was fired upon.
Lopez-Erives was awaiting trial on multiple felony charges, including aggravated assault, armed robbery and vehicle theft.
