Jealous husband escapes jail to threaten rival in Tulsa
John Mayo, 29, an Osage murder trial witness and convicted bank robber, fled Tulsa county jail with four revolvers and a machine gun. He terrorized a downtown hotel seeking his wife's alleged lovers, forcing a clerk to the floor and warning others to flee, then escaped with a promise of future pardon. Deputies say jealousy drove the escape rather than killing.
