(AP) — A physically fit inmate who was a known flight risk escaped from a central Arizona jail by hoisting himself atop a basketball hoop, grabbing on to an overhead security fence and breaking it apart, according to an investigative report released Monday. No one was directly supervising the recreation yard when Wade Cole Dickinson escaped July 12 while awaiting transfer to a state prison, the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office said. After the 6-foot-1, 190-pound former personal trainer broke through the overhead security fence, he ran across a roof and dropped about 30 feet before scaling an exterior fence with barbed wire, Sheriff Scott Mascher told The Associated Press. Dickinson was under increased security during court hearings after jail staff received credible information that he would try to escape. Dickinson was classified as a medium-security inmate, and no review of his classification was conducted after he was sentenced to nearly 25 years in state prison for fraud, drugs and possession of a firearm.
