Desperate Illinois Criminals Take It To The Next Level To Escape

I don't really think of escaping from prison as something that could happen in reality. It seems more like a scene from an action movie. Over the past few weeks, crime suspects have destroyed property in order to attempt to save their freedom. These incidents could've come straight out of a cop show. One wall and two ceilings were wrecked. Two out of the three events were unsuccessful.

Escape From Illinois Police Station Interrogation Room

In this case, the suspect had already been arrested for several crimes including hitting an officer with his car. The police put him in the interrogation room for questioning. They left him alone for a few minutes. When the cops came back, the criminal was gone. He had busted through the ceiling tiles to attempt to escape. Luckily, there were no openings for him to leave so he was trapped. Now, he has even more charges against him.
