Federal Inmate Escapes
KENTUCKY...
Police in Versailles say Derek A. Capozzi, a federal inmate who kicked his way out of a prison van Thursday is described as dangerous by U.S. Marshals. Prosecutors say Capozzi belonged to a Mafia-connected gang of drug dealers and thieves known as the Decologero Crew in Massachusetts when he was convicted in 2005 of being an accessory to the murder of 19 year old Aislin Silva of Medford, Mass., whose body was dismembered and hidden. Authorities say Capozzi was serving a 23-year sentence for the convictions and was being transported from the Grayson County jail to Lexington's Blue Grass Airport to be flown to an out-of-state facility. The driver also needed to pick up another inmate at the Woodford County jail. Capozzi somehow got the back door of the van unlocked as it was turning onto the Ky. 33 exit off the Bluegrass Parkway.
