Columbia, Missouri (The Weekly Vice) - Curtis Jones, a 31-year-old New Franklin man is back in custody after he used a toilet paper roll to escape from a Columbia, Missouri jail.According to the Howard County Sheriff's office, Jones escaped from the Howard County Jail Monday after using cardboard from a toilet paper roll to jam his cell door.
Jones' bid for freedom did take him far. He was apprehended by Columbia police Wednesday afternoon.
Investigators caught up to Jones after responding to a tip that was instrumental in locating the fugitive. When they arrived at Jones' suspected hideout, they discovered he had fled on foot. He was apprehended after a short foot chase near Melissa and Osage Drive.
This was not the first time Jones escaped captivity. In 1996 Jones escaped from the old Fayette Jail after climbing through a hole in the ceiling. He is currently serving time for a theft after his conviction for stealing anhydrous ammonia - a chemical used for manufacturing meth.

This one is going to be a burden on society the rest of his life and even longer when the state has to pay his funeral. Tweakers Suck.
If I ever go to jail. Let me go to that one. What is the deal with jails? Don't they have fences around them any longer?
Maybe it wasn't escape perhaps they let him out for good behavior.
I love that word "HIDEOUT" it just conjures up the most wonderful images.
I agree MaxXx. Why would a jail have a hole in the ceiling???
If only this man had found better ways to use his planning abilities...
