Two Rhode Island Men Sentenced in Platte County Case
Two Rhode Island men, Keith Allen Sullivan and Lawrence Wayne Fontaine, were sentenced to two to four years after pleading guilty to assault and jail escape. Sullivan received credit for 97 days in custody. Fontaine had 9 days prior to sentencing. The crime originated from an assault and robbery aboard a Union Pacific freight train near Columbus, with both men escaping jail during the wait for trial and recaptured hours later northwest of Lown.
