London Grand Jury Indicts Escapee
KENTUCKY....
A federal grand jury in London has indicted 37 year old Derek Albert Capozzi, a federal inmate who escaped from a prison van on April 15th while being transported from the Grayson County jail to the Blue Grass Airport in Lexington. Capozzi was in Kentucky to testify as a defense witness in a federal trial involving Christopher Cramer, who was accused last year of assaulting another inmate at the McCreary federal prison in Pine Knot. Capozzi had been handcuffed and placed in shackles, but he somehow was able to get the back door of the van open. The investigation into how he escaped is ongoing. If convicted, he could face a maximum prison sentence of five years.
