Dekenipp managed to crawl past razor wire, scale two fences, and then head to a bar 10 miles away. After seeing that Dekenipp was missing, deputies used K-9s to track him, but the dogs eventually lost his scent. The deputies then searched cars and asked if others had seen him.
Summary Cont. • Three hours later, thanks to a group of teens who told deputies that they had given the prisoner a lift to the bar, the officers found Dekenipp and sent him back to jail.
