MANILA, Utah (AP) -- One of two convicted killers who broke out of the Daggett County jail last fall has pleaded guilty to escape.
Danny Martin Gallegos, 50, was sentenced to a term of up to five years in prison. The sentence runs consecutively to the five-years-to life term Gallegos was serving for murder.
Gallegos and another inmate were being held at the Daggett County jail because of prison overcrowding. They slipped through an unlocked door, scaled a fence and jumped off the roof to escape.
They were on the run for almost a week before being caught in Wyoming.
