Jesse Dimmick is serving an 11-year sentence after bursting into Jared and Lindsay Rowley's Topeka-area home in September 2009. He was wanted for questioning in a Colorado man's beating death and a chase had begun in in Geary County.
The couple escaped after Dimmick fell asleep.
The Topeka Capital-Journal (

Dimmick contends that he and the couple reached a legally binding, oral contract that they would hide him for an unspecified amount of money. Dimmick wants $235,000.
