The search continues for an inmate involved in an all-night standoff with police at a Des Moines, Iowa, motel. Police surrounded the Motel Six near Interstate 80 last night after authorities tracked the man to one of its rooms. Officials believe the man had escaped from the prison in Oakdale. There were no immediate details about why he was in prison or when he escaped. Sergeant Todd Dykstra says police were talking to the man on the phone, but he cut off the talks. Police then threw pepper spray into the room and broke down the door, but the man was gone. Dykstra says the inmate climbed through an attic door in his room, squeezed through a vent in the roof and disappeared. Dykstra says police determined the man had left the area. Guests at the motel, which was evacuated, were allowed to return to their rooms about five a.m. |
