2 hostages saved as 4-inmate jail escape fails
Four inmates seized two hostages during a nearly seven hour stand off in Lincoln's County City Building jail. Deputy U.S. Marshal Jack Douglas and corrections officer Mike Wooten were kept at knife and spoon point, then freed as police evacuated the building. The four inmates led by Donald Routhier faced escape and assault charges as federal and local prosecutors reviewed police reports.
