Three Inmates, Two With Artificial Limbs Escape From Nashville Jail

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Three inmates, two with artificial limbs, escaped from jail by squeezing through an 8-inch gap onto the roof and using bed sheets to descend three stories. Two were captured Monday.

William Clay Bohanan, 40, Berl Keith McKinnie, 38, and Billy Leo Potts Jr., 39, fled Saturday night from a special needs cell at the medium- and maximum-security jail in Nashville.

Left behind in the inmates' beds were dummies made by stuffing newspapers into jail-issued orange jumpsuits, authorities said.

McKinnie has a prosthetic foot and Potts a prosthetic leg. He was caught by the U.S. Marshals Service in north Nashville late Monday night about two miles from the jail.

1. Well how else were they going to get to the Olympic 3-legged race?
They are naturals. Of course their manager wanted to come along.

2. Why couldn't one of them have been the "one-armed man"?
Much more entertaining headline: "Police Search For One-Armed Fugitive"

Ah well...
