Slimmed Down Murder Suspect Escapes Through Jail Air Vent
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A man charged with murder escaped from jail early Saturday by climbing through an air conditioner vent, authorities said.
The vent was less than a foot wide, and authorities said Darryl Layne Norris had been losing weight since arriving at the Waller County Jail in April.
The jail noticed the 6-foot, 160-pound man was missing after performing a routine head count.
