An
inmate who escaped during a prison van ride was at large for 6 hours
before police dogs caught his scent in a portable toilet, Illinois State
Police said. Cesar Sanchez, 37, who is serving a seven-year sentence
for burglary, got out of a moving transport van near Lockport, Illinois,
Friday and was believed to have hitched a ride on the back of a
delivery truck. Will County Sheriff Paul Kaupas said the delivery truck
investigators think Sanchez used in his getaway was traced to a business
where video surveillance records showed Sanchez dismounting the truck.
After police dogs picked up his scent in a storage lot for portable
toilets, police using infrared technology in a helicopter established he
was hiding in one of the toilets. Sanchez, who was handcuffed during
the prison van ride, may have kicked the van door open, authorities
said.
