Jacob Bassett
(KAIR)--A Saint Joseph, Missouri man, being held in the Atchison County Jail for a local criminal case, finds himself facing additional charges after he attempted to escape from custody last week.
Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie says 25-year-old Jacob Bassett was being escorted by corrections officers from the courtroom at the Courthouse Thursday to the jail when he decided to run.
Laurie alleges that Bassett ran from the bottom of the west stairs on the main level of the Courthouse, making his way eastward until he fell in front of the door to the County Commissioner's room.
Correction officers quickly took him into custody, and placed him under arrest for attempted escape from custody.
Bassett was returned to jail, where he is held on Atchison Walmart related theft charges and violation of parole in Missouri.
