Police chased down an escaped prisoner after officials allegedly let him go free. Robert Mott, 38, may have taken advantage of a possible clerical error and casually walked away from jail. Administrators told WDIV that Mott was on his way to court on assault charges when an official allegedly gave him his walking papers. Mott escaped to a neighborhood near Woodward on Detroit's west side before police caught him on top of the roof of a home. 'It's amazing how he got on the roof,' said Pierre Sulton, a neighbor who witnessed Mott's capture. Mott was brought back into police custody this afternoon, Local 4 reported. Wayne County Administrators say their main priority is to find out who was responsible for the alleged paperwork mixup. 'It may have been a paper snafu, but we'll get to the bottom of it,' said Nancy Mouradian of the Wayne County Sheriff's Department. Mott was serving charges on armed robbery and was in court Thursday on an assault charge. No official charges have been filed against Mott for the escape. |

There is a lot of information on this website about inmates and prison guards. I didn’t realize what was going on in our prison system until I discovered this website. Similarly, I didn’t understand litigation finance until I read more from Hamilton Lindley who is a litigation finance expert based in Texas.
