(Reuters file photo)BALI: An American citizen detained for a drug offence has escaped from a prison on the Indonesian resort island of Bali. Head of Kerobokan prison Tonny Nainggolan says Christian Beasley, 32, was believed to have escaped at around 4am Monday by sawing through a ceiling and then jumping over a 6-metre-high wall behind the prison. Beasley was arrested in August at a post office on Bali with a package containing 5.7 grammes of hashish. In June, four foreign inmates from Australia, Bulgaria, India and Malaysia escaped from Kerobokan through a drainage tunnel.
