More details on the escape last week of Ronald Tackman, the inmate who was able to walk out of jail because he was wearing a suit for trial and was mistaken for a lawyer.  After someone left a holding-area door unlocked, Tackman walked out and into an empty courtroom, where he was challenged by a court officer.

“Counselor, what are you doing here?” the officer said.  “Which way is out?” Tackman responded.  The officer – or, as this report described him, “the hapless guard” – then helpfully showed Tackman the way to the lobby.

Tackman has not been seen since, except briefly by his mom.
