Herrington v. State

GRIFFIS, J.,

for the Court.

¶ 1. Kenneth Wayne Herrington was in custody awaiting trial on felony charges when he attempted an escape from the Lauderdale County Detention Facility. Herrington used an existing hole in the chain-link enclosure to gain access to the roof of the detention facility. Herrington was quickly apprehended and returned to his cell.

¶ 2. Herrington was charged with and convicted of attempted felony escape. The trial judge found Herrington to be a habitual offender and sentenced him to life in prison without the possibility of parole or probation. We find no error and affirm.
