A Washington, D.C., man is facing additional charges after police in western New Jersey say he tried to escape from jail.
Hunterdon County Prosecutor Anthony P. Kearns said 19-year-old Berket Gebre was arrested after trying to escape from the Hunterdon County Jail in Flemington over the Thanksgiving weekend.
Gebre was originally arrested by West Amwell Township police for eluding on November 25.
His bail was set at $35,000, and he was awaiting his first court appearance when corrections officers at the jail noticed damage inside Gebre's cell, Kearns said.
"It was determined that Mr. Gebre caused the damage to his cell while trying to escape. Mr. Gebre was immediately rehoused and the area was secured," Kearns said.
Bail for the escape and criminal mischief charges was set at $50,000, which is in addition to the bail for his original eluding charge.
