A woman is in the Black Hawk County Jail with her boyfriend after an alleged plan to help him escape from custody failed.
On Tuesday, deputies charged 23-year-old Donsque Donston with conspiracy to commit a felony. A judge set her bond at $25,000. Authorities said Donston provided a Cedar Rapids address when she was taken into custody, but also listed a home address in Columbus, Ohio.
Black Hawk County sheriff's officials said deputies learned of Donston's plan to free her boyfriend, 28-year-old Tyrone Copeland, when the two allegedly discussed the details while talking to each other on the jail's recorded phone system. In a press release, authorities said the recordings of the conversation revealed specific information on when and how the escape would happen.
