FULTON COUNTY (WEEK) — A person identifying himself as 26-year-old Cody Villalobos says he and three other inmates escaped an Illinois jail through a hole made by a toilet that fell off the wall in their cellblock.
Villalobos called the newsroom of KWWL sister-station WEEK Thursday evening from the Fulton County Jail, where he is now back in custody following his recapture.
“The toilet was already broke,” Villalobos said. “I went to sit on it, and it started falling. So I got up and it just completely fell off the wall. And it’s just a hole right there where the catwalk is so they can do maintenance and stuff.”
