An Oklahoma prison inmate trying to escape in the outgoing trash was crushed to death inside a garbage truck last week. State correctional officers discovered Mariano Absum, 27, was missing just before noon, and an investigation led them to suspect he had escaped in the garbage truck that made its routine stop at the prison. They quickly located the truck, which had broken down about two miles away. He may have hidden in a garbage bin that was emptied into the truck, DOC spokesperson Jerry Massie said. Absum arrived at the medium-security Conner Correctional Center in May to begin a three-year sentence for assault and battery. |
