A little more than 64 hours after escaping from the Saline County Jail, convicted murderer Antonio Brown is back in the jail facing additional charges of aggravated escape from custody.
Brown was booked into the Saline County Jail about 8:30 Thursday morning.
Brown called the U.S. Marshals Service late Wednesday night from south Wichita to turn himself in.
At a media briefing Thursday morning, Lt. Brent Melander did not release any details on how Brown made it to Wichita from Salina, but when asked if there would be additional arrests in the case, Melander said it “Was a strong possibility of an additional arrest.”
Melander said he is conducting the internal investigation to determine what led to Brown being able to escape a holding cell Monday afternoon after being brought back to Salina from the Mitchell County Jail where he had been housed most of the time since his arrest in October of 2011 in the death of 14 month old Clayden Urbanek.
Melander says he understands the concern and anger by area residents with the escape, and the Saline County Sheriff’s Office regrets what happened, and is working to make sure it dosen’t happen again.
