AN inmate of the Lusignan Prison who was sentenced to two four-week terms for two counts of threatening language, escaped from the penitentiary on Saturday.
The escapee was identified as Quincy Clarke, 38, of West La Penitence, Georgetown. Police said that two officers who were working at the holding bay noticed an unidentifiable male running and pushing a black and red XR motorcycle.
The officers shouted at the male to stop, but he didn’t, and a chase ensued. The male then dropped the motorcycle, crossed a trench and ran west into some bushes, making good his escape.
The officers who gave chase later related that the individual was a prisoner and the motorcycle belonged to a prison officer. Investigations and a search are ongoing.
