Chapter 13 - The Suspect Makes a Desperate Run for Freedom
Back at the county sheriff’s department, the booking process for David was nearing its final administrative stage.
Two deputies unshackled his wrists temporarily to transfer him to a secure holding cell down the hall.
Sensing his last fleeting chance at escaping a life sentence, David made a sudden, violent decision.
He shoved the nearest deputy hard against the cinderblock wall, sending paperwork flying everywhere in the corridor.
Before the second officer could react, David sprinted down the hallway toward the emergency exit doors.
“Stop right there! Security breach in cellblock B!” shouted the deputy, drawing his taser weapon instantly.
Alarms wailed through the precinct as red emergency strobe lights flashed frantically against the concrete walls.
David burst through the heavy metal exit door into the humid afternoon air of the parking lot.
He didn't get twenty yards before a K-9 unit interceptor tackled him forcefully into the gravel driveway.
