State v. Moore

OPINION

BAKER, Chief Judge.

Appellant-defendant State of Indiana appeals the order entered by the trial court dismissing the charge of Escape,1 a class C felony, that the State had brought against appellees-defendants Misty Moore, et al. (collectively, the Inmates). Moore and five other inmates at the Greene County Jail had left their assigned cells during the night to spend time with each other in restricted areas. The State argues that the trial court erred by finding that the facts as alleged by the State did not constitute the crime of escape. Finding no error, we affirm.
