Mass break from Arkansas mental hospital amid snowstorm
Eleven inmates charged with felonies escaped the state hospital in Little Rock during a heavy snow period. They overpowered attendants on the third floor and fled in a guard’s car or on foot, while work crews braced a roof housing 350 women and children. One fugitive, Carl Merriman, a former prize fighter, was later found at a bus station. Police set roadblocks and a general alarm as defenders faced freezing conditions and limited mobility.
