Leg-irons, handcuffs don't stop prisoner from escaping in sheriff's patrol car
By Associated press - 10/6/2000

ZILWAUKEE, MI -- A prisoner wearing handcuffs and leg shackles
walked out of the Montmorency County Jail and drove off
in an unattended sheriff's patrol car, police say.

But Chandles Carsey, 18, apparently had second thoughts,
returned and surrendered hours later.

On Monday, Montmorency County deputies arrested Carsey
and four others in a stolen motor home near Atlanta. 
Carsey escaped as the group awaited questioning early
Tuesday.

Carsey found a patrol car with keys in the ignition and drove off.
He later abandoned the patrol car and stole another vehicle,
authorities say.

He is believed to have stopped at a Lowe's home improvement store 
 in Saginaw County's Kochville Township, where a hack saw and
shackles were found in a bathroom.

While in Saginaw County, he paged his parents, and one of them
picked him up and drove him back to Montmorency County,
said Saginaw County Sheriff Charles L. Brown.

Carsey had been charged with home invasion, malicious destruction
of property, possession of fireworks and auto theft.
