as many people have heard, ksu had quite the eventful day yesterday. a convict from coffee county, tennessee was being escorted back to tennessee by a deputy yesterday afternoon and escaped when the officer stopped at the waffle house across the street to grab something to eat. the convict got out of his hand cuffs and ran from the car over to ksu. he was seen in the science building at one point but they still haven't found him. i do have to commend ksu for their security alert system - they sent out immediate emails, phone calls, and texts to every student and faculty member about it, warning everyone on campus to stay put and those off campus to stay away.
the convict, chris gay, was under custody for larceny after stealing a walmart truck and was being taken back to coffee county. the depuity that was transporting him is said to be a 40-year veteran... but really? who stops at waffle house while transporting a convict? either way, it caused quite a stur on campus yesterday. luckily, i was at work because they put the entire campus on lock-down. they weren't letting anyone leave buildings or walk around at all. they also canceled all classes for the rest of the day - which meant no midterm for me last night!! so... i guess one good thing did come of the ordeal.
