    He’s a trustee and that car is probably a county jail vehicle and not a deputy’s cruiser. He probably just washed it too…

      so if we ever need to, the trick is to claim to be a trustee at a county jail, gotcha.

      This. There’s no way a recently escaped convict would keep any semblance of prison identity on their person in a public area. Man is just gassing up the shared prison vehicle because he’s proven to be trusted, and likely has an outside job. Just has to keep the jumpsuit on to remain identifiable to others.

      Then again…Lake County has some characters…

    He’s an undercover cop who just spend too much time working on his disguise to realize the car he’s driving

    It’s happened that escapeees have done this. Not sure this a ‘hmmm’ so much as a ‘call 911 right now’ kind of thing.

      This is the type of controversial post I’m 100% here for.

      Quick question. Do you call the cops on Andy Dufresne?

      Follow up, what is the likelyhood the person who answers yes also calls the cops on Red despite him being lawfully released?

        I wouldn’t, no.

        But on this guy? 100% He’s threatened to kill his murder victim’s kids if he got loose, and there’s no reason to believe he won’t. I think the police have far too much power and prisons are the wrong solution in many cases, but some people aren’t fit for society and that fucker is a good example.

          That’s fair, I guess. Was just a hypothetical. To everyone else’s knowledge Andy was a murderer etc.
