NJ Woman Indicted In W.Va. Prison Camp Escape
CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (AP) — A New Jersey woman accused of helping an inmate escape from a federal prison camp in West Virginia has been indicted.
U.S. Attorney William Ihlenfeld says 39-year-old Jamie Angel Clayton of Edgewater, N.J., is in custody pending a detention hearing.
If she's convicted of aiding in the escape of 42-year-old Eugene Nicholas Cobbs, she could get up to five years in prison.
Clayton was arrested Thursday in New York City, but the search for Cobbs continues. He's charged with escape in the same indictment.
The U.S. Marshals Service says Cobbs walked away from FCI Morgantown on April 10.
Cobbs crashed a small plane loaded with drugs in Wheeling and fled in 2004. He was captured in 2008 in Guadalajara, Mexico, and sentenced to more than 12 years in prison.
