HUGO, Colo. (AP) A Lincoln County Jail inmate tried to escape from a housing unit, was caught and tried to escape again while being transported to another facility.
The inmate, 33-year-old Nathaniel Gallion of Arriba, is facing multiple felony charges, according to the Lincoln County Sheriff s Office.
The jail declared an emergency at 8:15 p.m. Thursday in the male housing unit after deputies discovered that an inmate used a desktop that had been bolted to the wall as a battering ram.
During his escape attempt, he destroyed windows and equipment inside the housing unit, officials said.
