A man who escaped from a Mississippi prison with only a few months left before his release is headed back to prison for a long time.
When 21-year-old Shunekndrick Huffman escaped from the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility on August 25, he broke into a neighbor’s house, held three individuals at gunpoint for several hours, then eventually drove off in a car belonging to one of the residents, Sky News reported Tuesday.
He later crashed the vehicle and took off on foot.
In a social media post August 25, the state’s department of corrections said officials found and captured Huffman, who was hiding in a dumpster at the Mississippi State Hospital approximately two miles away from the prison facility.
The agency noted that “Huffman was sentenced on Oct. 14, 2019, to seven years followed by three years’ probation for aggravated assault in Leake County,” noting he was scheduled for release in December.
Rankin County district attorney Bubba Bramlett said Monday a judge sentenced the man to 40 years in prison when he admitted to the kidnapping charges.
His office said in a press release Monday:
