Two Men Sentenced to
Federal Jail for Escape
From City Police Officer
Two local men have been sen
tenced to serve time in the Fed
eral jail for escaping from a city
police officer after he had ar
rested them.
•• Stephen Seetomona plead guilty
in Commissioner’s Court to es
cape from confinement when he
broke a window in the city patrol
car and fled. He was sentenced to
60 days in jail with 30 days sus
pended if he pays for the damage
■inflicted on the patrol car.
Eugene Avessuk was sentenced
to 60 days in Federal jail for his
escape from confinement.
It seems the whole thing came
about when Officer Casperson ar
rested Seetomona on a complaint
from a local business house and
locked him in the patrol car.
When he returned to the car with
Avessuk, he found Seetomona had
broken the window and fled. Of
ficer Casperson then released
Avessuk and went to recapture
Seetomona. He later apprehended
Avessuk again.
Both men were also given 60
days suspended sentences for
being drunk in a public place.
