KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — A woman who helped a convicted murderer escape from prison in a dog crate was sentenced Tuesday to 27 months in federal prison.
A judge ruled that Toby Young's federal sentence should run concurrently with a 21-month state sentence she already is serving, which means she will be released sometime next spring.
Young helped John M. Manard escape from the Lansing Correctional Facility in February 2006 by hiding him in a crate she used for a dog-training program at the prison. The two were captured nearly two weeks later in Tennessee.
