Wayne Gilbert may have been thinking of the song “There’s no place like home for the holidays…,” when he escaped from the Golden Grove Police Station on Tuesday night.
But his father seemed to have been thinking otherwise. He promptly turned his son over to the police.
A police release stated that at around 23:00 hrs on Tuesday, Gilbert “was handed over to the police by his father, whom the officers applauded.
The 25-year-old of West La Penitence has since appeared in court on a murder charge.
Gilbert, Ivree Hooper, 25, of James Street, Albouystown, and Derrol James, 22, of Lot 131 Middle Walk, Buxton, escaped from the Golden Grove Police Station (also called Diamond Police Station) at around 18:00 hrs on Tuesday.
It is suspected that they used a piece of metal that they had broken off from the door of the lockups to smash a hole in the western wall, in an area near the washroom.
At the time, three ranks, including a female corporal were on duty. The corporal has since been placed under close arrest.
Gilbert was also charged in 2012, and later jailed in May 2013, for an armed robbery in which a toy gun was used. He was wounded in 2015 by another inmate while incarcerated at the Georgetown Prisons.
Derrol James is a suspect in a series of armed robbery, while Ivree Hooper was detained for simple larceny.
