Prisoner Detained Officials Of The Judicial Guard – Lower Austria

On Friday, a prisoner who was detained in Krems Prison for fraud was released. Accompanied by two judicial guards, he said he had to do something at his home in Waidhofen an der Thaya. Once there, the prisoner tricked his guards and locked them in a room in the house.

Prisoner piled up in the neighboring town

While the judicial guards were stuck, the prisoner was piling up, according to the “Niederösterreichische Nachrichten”. He fled to the nearby Windigsteig, where he hid in a building. Investigators were still able to locate the man on Friday evening, but he was finally arrested by the police without resistance.

No further punishment for escape

There is no further punishment for the prisoner, because an attempt to escape is not punishable. There can only be punishments if further actions are taken while fleeing – such as resistance to state violence or bodily harm caused by tearing away, but also damage to property, such as damage to or opening a door when attempting to escape.
