Teenagers Escape Jail But Not From Building
In Pomeroy two teens from the county jail upstairs, after planning to escape, nearly fled through a locked steel door. Deputy Jed Webster halted them as they pried the door with iron braces, sending water leaks and alarms through the jail. Both youths now face breaking jail charges in solitary confinement.
