Chapter 17 - Richard Attempts A Desperate And Foolish Escape Route
Desperate to avoid a twenty-year prison sentence, Richard hatched a reckless, poorly planned escape scheme.
During a routine transport transfer between the federal courthouse and the upstate penitentiary, he made his move.
He shoved a correctional officer against the metal walls of the van and bolted toward the alleyway.
It took less than five seconds for federal marshals to draw their weapons and tackle him onto the wet asphalt.
The pavement scraped his face, reopening old humiliations as steel cuffs were locked back around his wrists.
“You just added five more years to your sentence for attempted flight, Sterling,” the lead marshal barked.
