Two men managed to crawl and climb their way out of a Virginia jail on Monday, but their escape was cut short when police arrested them at a nearby IHOP the next morning.
The sheriff’s office in Newport News, about an hour’s drive north of Virginia Beach, says 37-year-old John Garza and 43-year-old Arley Nemo are back in custody and new charges against them are pending.
The sheriff’s office says that the men exploited an unspecified “construction design weakness” with the help of “primitive-made tools constructed from a toothbrush and metal object.”
