Florida man escapes prison to get tobacco, alcohol, cigarettes

Jason Wayne Adams, 27, revealed the escape to deputies after his Sept. 9 arrest in his latest attempt to flee law enforcement.

Adams told deputies he escaped a work detail in Lutz on Aug. 28 and went to the Metro Food Mart at 24050 S.R. 54, according to his arrest report. He planned to smuggle chewing tobacco, cartons of cigarettes and alcoholic beverages back to the Sumter Correctional Institute in Bushnell.

Video from the store shows that Adams changed from his inmate uniform before going to the store, the report says. He then returned to his work crew without corrections officers noticing.

...

State Corrections Secretary Mike Crews said Wednesday his agency will make unannounced inspections of work details.

Added that last paragraph in there just to point out the irony of announcing unannounced inspections.
