AUBURN, Maine (WABI) - An inmate escaped from the Androscoggin County Jail Monday morning.
Officials say 23-year-old David Mockler of Lisbon climbed a fence and squeezing through two rows of barbed wire before jumping about 25 feet off a roof.
Police say he then stole an unlocked SUV that had the keys in it.
Officials say a short time later, Mockler crashed the SUV and was taken back into custody.
Mockler was taken to a hospital for a possible broken ankle which authorities believe happened when he jumped off the roof.
He’s facing a number of charges including escape.
Mockler has been incarcerated since May 15 on numerous charges including drug trafficking.
