The last of four inmates who escaped from the privately run McKinley County (N.M.) jail on July 4, getting a three-hour head start because officers didn't miss them, was back in custody Sunday. Eric Leyba, 19, turned himself in at the jail sometime during the night, said a jail officer who identified herself only as Sgt. Mariano. Leyba, who was being held on a murder charge, was one of four inmates who escaped from the lockup on Independence Day after being left unsupervised in a recreation yard. Investigators said officers at the jail, managed by Utah-based Management & Training Corp., didn't notice they were missing until a head count later that day. The jail warden, Cody Graham, was fired after the escape, and county officials said they planned to review their contract with the company. Management & Training said it was making personnel changes and improvements at the jail. |
