Karl F. Shamel, 20, of Wakeman, armed with a pipe, broom handle and metal rod, dug an eight inch hole in a second floor bathroom wall to escape Huron County Jail. He feared being killed if convicted of attempted rape and planned to flee with his cellmate who reported the plot. The escape attempt spanned days. Shamel was charged with attempting to escape and faces trial on June 16.
The sheriff notes Shamel could have escaped from a yard near the exterior wall by descending to Seminary Street with sheets but would have hit a concrete strip dividing building sections. He believes reinforced walls hindered digging. Prisoners have bathroom access. Shamel is now in a locked ground-floor cell. No sounds or witnesses to the hole.
