Inmate falls through ceiling into Texas police office
ALTON, Texas (AP) - Authorities say an inmate trying to flee a Texas city jail crashed through the ceiling into a police chief's empty office.
Police say 17-year-old Jesus Albert Suarez Chavez and 22-year-old Roman Orozco Martinez tried to escape through air conditioning ducts of the Alton city jail around 3 a.m. Saturday, but had been spotted by a dispatcher monitoring security video.
One of the inmates fell through the ceiling into the office of Police Chief Baldemar Flores. The second inmate was trying to get into the vent.
Flores said he didn't know which inmate fell through the ceiling, only that the vents were very small.
Chavez and Martinez are charged with burglary of a vehicle, evading arrest, resisting arrest, assault on a public servant and making a terrorist threat. They are now being held in the Hidalgo County Jail. A jail official says no attorneys are listed for the pair.
