Here's the Plot of Your Next Prison Break Novel

Search goes on for escapee, answers | Houston & Texas News | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle: "As Arcade Joseph Comeaux Jr. remained on the lam this morning, authorities were also searching for answers as to how a supposedly-disabled, incarcerated felon in a wheelchair managed to get a gun, hijack a van with two Texas Department of Criminal Justice guards and then disappear into the morning.

Authorities said the inmate's plan unfolded about 5:45 a.m Monday as the guards left the Estelle Unit in Huntsville on their way to the Stiles Unit in Beaumont. Comeaux sprang into action and pulled a gun and fired a warning shot as they reached Highway 105 in Conroe.

The 49-year-old inmate then forced the two correctional officers transporting him to drive to Baytown, where he handcuffed the guards and took a 12-gauge shotgun and two semiautomatic pistols from them."
