Sheriff: Inmate hid hacksaw in bible Associated Press DOTHAN, Ala. (AP) — Houston County Sheriff Andy Hughes says an inmate’s bid to escape the county jail on Saturday was foiled by a correctional officer.
He said 19-year-old Gregory Antonio Patterson used a hidden hacksaw to cut through a cell bar. He said an observant correctional officer saw the damage and searched Patterson’s cell. Hughes said deputies found the hacksaw in the back cover of a bible. Patterson, who awaits trial for two armed robberies, now faces an escape charge. Investigators are trying to learn who smuggled the hacksaw into the jail. ——— Information from: The Dothan Eagle
