Report: Two Inmates Bolt From District Court During Hearing
SECURITY: Prosecutor Says Incident Shows Courthouse Needs Better Security
By Cody Neuenschwander 10/18/18


Two men wearing jail garb and with hands still shackled allegedly ran from a courtroom in Lewis County District Court Tuesday afternoon, with one making it outside the building, where he was caught by deputies. (
Tanner D. Jacobson, 22, of Onalaska and Kodey L. Howard, 28, of Winlock were each charged Wednesday with second-degree escape. Jacobson was placed on a $100,000 cash bond, and Howard on a $50,000 cash bond).

According to a probable cause affidavit, both had their hands shackled when they appeared in Judge R.W. Buzzard’s court on the third floor of the courthouse and when they both took off running from the courtroom. Buzzard chased after them, catching and restraining Howard before he reached an emergency exit. But Jacobson made it outside through the emergency exit. He was caught by deputies a few blocks from the courthouse.
Report: Two Inmates Bolt From District Court During Hearing

ETA: Let's hope Lewis County takes precaution when the brothers Marquez & Adamson are due in court! Came across this news from Lewis County District Court today when checking on Benito's hearing. Judge RW Buzzard literally jumped a banister in the courtroom in pursuit of shackled K. Howard, 28, and T. Jacobson, 22 was caught a few blocks away by deputy.

I'm LOLing about the Judge chasing the inmate! Thanks for the story.

I'm LOLing about the Judge chasing the inmate! Thanks for the story.

Ha! The prosecutor wants additional armed guards in the courthouse -- I agree. Although the sheriff’s Office deputies accompany anyone currently in custody while they appear at hearings in the courthouse, the Sheriff said in an email that "one deputy was in the courtroom when Jacobson and Howard ran, and there were four inmates total." Just imagine if one of those 4 inmates was Benito!! Yikes!

Both brothers have their trial dates now so that confirms they won't be tried together. Given that Benito is last, I don't think he'll help prosecutor here with JA.
