MILTON, Fla. (AP) - One of two men who escaped from the Santa
Rosa County Jail has pleaded guilty and agreed to testify against
others involved in the jail break.
David Dixon of Pace, also pleaded guilty Tuesday to another
attempted escape charge, a robbery and a violation of probation
charge. Dixon tried to escape from jail before the July escape and
was unsuccessful.
Dixon will be sentenced Dec. 2.
Authorities say Dixon and Ricky Spears escaped from jail in July
by squeezing through a 12-inch square opening that led to an area
housing water pipes. They allegedly reached the jail's roof and
dropped to the ground. They were arrested them on Aug. 30.
At least two other people were arrested in connection to the
escape.
