PARIS, Ark. (AP) — An inmate who escaped a northwestern Arkansas jail, showed up at a nearby bar a week later, ordered a beer and declared he was turning himself in.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports that Shaun Higham, 45, turned up Tuesday night at Mitch’s Place in Paris, about 6 miles from the Logan County Jail. He was wearing a dirty prison uniform and covered in insect bites.
Logan County Sheriff Boyd Hicks says there had been no sightings of Higham since he picked a lock and fled the county jail June 28.
The bar’s owner called police, saying Higham was there and that he wanted to turn himself in. Higham was drinking a beer when police arrived.
