PLATTE CITY, Mo. (AP) - A Missouri jury has convicted one of two inmates who led authorities on a chase after escaping from a Kansas prison in 2013.
The Kansas City Star reports that a Platte County jury convicted Scott A. Gilbert on Friday of 10 felonies, including firing at a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest.
Gilbert and two other men escaped from the Lansing Correctional Facility in Lansing, Kansas, on May 10, 2013. One of the men was arrested without incident outside of Topeka.
Gilbert and a second inmate led authorities on the chase before barricading themselves in an unoccupied home near Smithville Lake in northwest Missouri. They surrendered after about six hours.
Gilbert is scheduled for sentencing on Jan. 8.
The Lansing prison is about 30 miles west of Smithville.
