"39-year-old Darrell Smith was arrested on Saturday for kidnapping and robbery. He was supposed to appear before a Grant County judge in Ephrata on Monday morning, but before the hearing, Smith said he was sick and needed to go back to jail.
As the handcuffed Smith and his escort, a single correctional deputy, were heading back to jail, Smith pulled away and ran off.
Smith ran for at least three blocks right through downtown Ephrata, across Main Street, across railroad tracks and into a shed. It was in that shed where Smith found an old grain truck with the keys nearby.
Smith started the truck and then drove about 20 miles to Moses Lake, officers in hot pursuit the entire time."
