ORACABESSA ESCAPEE GAVE FICTITIOUS NAME IN ANOTHER CRIME
One of the seven men who escaped from the Oracabessa police lock up, St Mary, a month ago went on to St Catherine to steal a car and commit other crimes, police say.
Now they have him in custody, only after they found out that he had given them the wrong name after he was arrested in St Catherine.
Back in the custody of the St Mary police is 24-year-old Troy Walker of Claremont, St Ann. Walker was in the Oracabessa lock-up for rape when he and six others broke out just before Christmas.
One of the seven was previously captured on January 3. He is twenty-two-year-old Linton Bailey of Jacks River, St. Mary.
Five others are still on the run.
Reports to the North Coast Times are that Walker was involved in the stealing of a car and was held by police, December 27. That’s six days after he and six others broke out of the cell in Oracabessa, on December 21.
He was charged by the St Catherine police for stealing the car and also for malicious destruction of property. Police have not given details on the circumstances and facts surrounding those charges.
However, while Walker was being held police realized that he had given them a fictitious name and they were able to get his correct name and trace him to the breakout.
(Police had supplied the photos of six of the seven escapees. The photo of Walker was not one of them)
He’s now back in St Mary
and expected to face a charge for the escape, in addition to the St Catherine charge and the earlier rape charge.
