Virginia Inmates Use Toothbrush To Dig Tunnel Out Of Jail And Head To IHOP Where They Were Found And Arrested

 

Two Virginia inmates busted out of jail and headed to a local IHOP after using a toothbrush to dig a tunnel through their cell wall Monday.

The prisoners, 37-year-old John Garza and 43-year-old Arley Nemo, were captured at the pancake joint’s location about seven miles away from the Newport News jail they escaped from hours earlier, the Newport News Sheriff’s Office said.

Garza and Nemo used “primitive-made tools constructed from a toothbrush and metal object” to break open their cell wall and access unsecured rebars between the walls. They then used a rebar to break a small hole in the wall and climbed through, the sheriff said.

Once out of their jail cell, the men scaled the containment wall and made a run for it. They ended up at the International House of Pancakes in Hampton, where police arrested them in the early morning hours Tuesday.

Bystanders at the IHOP had noticed the two inmates
