Cuffed escapee tries to buy bolt cutter at Wal-Mart
MAGNOLIA, Ark. - James Cotton looked just like any other Wal-Mart customer buying a bolt cutter at 4:30 in the morning - until the cashier noticed that Cotton was wearing handcuffs. According to police, the clerk took Cottonâs money, gave him the bolt cutter, then called officers. Cotton was caught minutes later Saturday, after he had gone into the bathroom and cut off the handcuffs. Cotton had been arrested the night before by the Haynesville, La., police on charges of battery and possession of a narcotic, but he kicked out a window in a police car and fled, authorities said.Posted by: Mike 2004-02-10 |
