Fugitive uses basketball hoop to escape jail

Only somone who is physically adept could pull this one off.

An investigative report says an inmate being held in a central Arizona jail was able to escape by hoisting himself atop a basketball hoop, grabbing on to an overhead security fence and breaking it apart.

No one knew Wade Cole Dickinson, a physically fit former personal trainer, had escaped July 12 until someone called 911 to report a man in orange pants and a white shirt trying to steal a vehicle in Camp Verde, Arizona.

The 28-year-old is still on the loose.
