MAQUOKETA, Iowa (AP) - One of two men who broke out of the Jackson County Jail in eastern Iowa has been given 10 years in prison.
Online court records say 20-year-old Brian Willey was sentenced Friday. He’d pleaded guilty to escape and theft charges and to a burglary charge in an unrelated case.
Clinton police say Willey and 19-year-old Andrew Combs were captured after a short foot chase March 6. The men had pried open a gate and escaped Feb. 28 from the jail in Maquoketa (muh-KOH’-keh-tuh).
Combs has pleaded not guilty to the escape and to unrelated burglary and robbery counts. His trial has not been scheduled.
