Escaped Inmate Turns Himself In To Escape Freezing Temperatures

Robert Vick, an escaped inmate from a Lexington, Kentucky prison, decided that freedom wasn't worth freezing over. So, he turned himself in to police to ESCAPE (see what  we did there?) the freezing temperatures. Keep reading for more on the story.

After realizing prison was better than braving freezing temperatures, Robert Vick stopped at a motel, and asked them to call police so they could take him back to jail.

From Inquisitr:

“This was definitely of his own volition,” said Lexington police spokeswoman Sherelle Roberts. “It’s cold out there, too cold to run around. I can understand why the suspect would turn himself in.”

The escaped inmate was wearing only his prison-issued khaki pants, a shirt and jacket when he busted out, noted Department of Corrections spokeswoman Lisa Lamb. Meanwhile, temperatures outside in Kentucky dipped as low as the single digits, with wind chills reaching 20 degrees below zero.
