The man being held after the disappearance of toddler Lonzie Barton has been charged with an attempted escape from jail, the Sheriff’s Office said.
William Ruben Ebron Jr., 32, who was arrested July 24 on two counts of child neglect, had four more charges added Thursday after an inmate revealed the escape plan to authorities, according to a new Sheriff’s Office arrest report.
Details of the plan — launched the same day of Ebron’s arrest — include a plastic handcuff key, a waiting getaway vehicle and recorded conversations with a fellow inmate, according to the report.
