Escaped prisoner did not lock gardaí in cell and help others flee, says sergeant
The man is being hunted by officers attached to Cavan Garda Station. However, a spokesman for the station rejected reports that the fugitive locked officers into a cell and helped other prisoners to escape.
“A man escaped from custody last Thursday,” confirmed Sergeant Frank Harten. “But reports that he facilitated the escape of others and locked gardaí in a cell is totally without foundation.”
