Todd Boyes escaped jail by disguising himself as a civilian. His client, who wishes to remain anonymous for fear of his safety, told Davis that a fellow inmate had escaped. The client told Davis to tell a corrections officer but to make sure the information didn’t circle back to him. To exit the jail, Boyes would have had to first leave his cell and then leave his section — a two-tier array of cells. Boyes was arrested in February after allegedly carjacking several motorists in Ohio and then fleeing from police to West Virginia, Messina said.
