document: Spanish jailbird is as sly as a fax MADRID - Spanish police say they have arrested a man who twice escaped from custody by having his wife send fake faxes ordering his release . Jose Carlos Serna , 57 , was arrested yesterday at his home in a suburb north of Madrid after being found hiding in a hollowed-out sofa , police said . In December , he was in a cell at a courthouse awaiting trial when officers got a fax purportedly from a regional court . It was followed by a phone call purportedly from a court official , corroborating the release order . He was then freed to a waiting taxi . Police said Serna used the same trick to escape from a jail in October . - Associated Press
