Police were searching for a man who escaped from the Northern Oregon Corrections facility in The Dalles last week. Springfield resident James Edward Anderson, 35, was arrested in Hood River County on July 17, and is facing charges of theft, resisting arrest and assaulting a public safety officer. Officials first learned of his escape when two women arriving at the jail to visit another inmate said they had spotted a man jumping off the prison's roof. Jail Commander Capt. Larry Lindhorst said Anderson apparently cut through a plasterboard ceiling, got into a crawl space above the ceiling, then pushed out an air vent to get on the roof. He was last seen heading toward some nearby railroad tracks. Anderson is the third person to have escaped from the jail since it opened in October of 1999. While one of the previous escapees made it no further than across the street, the other one, an Immigration and Naturalization Services detainee, has never been located, Lindhorst said. |
