QUIRKY WORLD... Inmate fails to make clean escape from jail
Officials say 28-year-old Kevin Matthew Perkins packed himself in the basket to get away from the Metropolitan Detention Centre. Authorities say the laundry basket was headed to another facility.
When an officer opened a truck door, officials say Perkins jumped out of the basket and ran. Albuquerque police later received a breaking and entering call at an assisted living complex. That’s where they found broken glass from a window and followed a trail of blood that led to Perkins.
