Just how cold is it in Kentucky? Apparently cold enough for an escaped prisoner to decide to turn himself in.
美國肯塔基州的天氣有多冷?答案是已經(jīng)冷到讓越獄囚犯決定自首回監(jiān)獄了。
Authorities say the inmate escaped from a minimum security facility in Lexington on Sunday. As temperatures dropped into the low single digits Monday, officials say the man walked into a motel and asked the clerk to call police.
據(jù)美國肯塔基州官方報道稱,囚犯羅伯特·維克周日從安保不嚴(yán)的列克星頓監(jiān)獄越獄。但第二天氣溫驟降低個位數(shù)(約-10°C),警方稱,維克被迫走進一家汽車旅店,讓伙計報警。
Lexington police spokeswoman Sherelle Roberts says 42-year-old Robert Vick of Hartford told the clerk he wanted to turn himself in and escape the arctic air.
列克星敦警方發(fā)言人賽萊樂·羅伯茨稱,42歲的哈特福特人羅伯特·維克跟店里伙計說,他想自首并逃離北極一般的寒冷天氣。
Roberts says Vick was checked out by paramedics and returned to Blackburn Correctional Complex.
羅伯茨稱,維克已接受醫(yī)務(wù)人員檢查,并且已經(jīng)被遣送回布萊克本監(jiān)獄。
Department of Corrections spokeswoman Lisa Lamb says Vick would have been dressed in prison-issued khaki pants, a shirt and a jacket when he escaped.
監(jiān)獄發(fā)言人麗莎·蘭姆說,維克逃走的時候,可能只穿了監(jiān)獄發(fā)的卡其布褲子外加襯衫和夾克。
Wind chill readings were 20 below zero Monday in Lexington.
