Escaped Inmate Accused Of Robbing Bank Allegedly Tries To Escape During Court Appearance
STOCKTON, Calif. (AP) - A jail inmate suspected of trying to rob a bank after escaping from Central California work camp tried to escape again during a courtroom appearance.
The Stockton Record reports that 20-year-old Pedro Arquiaga jumped over a Stockton courtroom barrier and tried to run through a side door Thursday morning.
He was captured. Arquiaga sustained minor injuries during the escape attempt.
In December, Arquiaga ran away from the San Joaquin County Jail's Honor Farm.
Officials say he was being held there related to an earlier crime and was facing charges of burglary, possession of burglary tools, receiving stolen property, auto theft, hit-and-run and resisting arrest.
He was on the run for about a week and apprehended Jan. 3 after Stockton police say he tried to rob bank.
