Negasi Zuberi, 29, was caught trying to break through the glass in his cell window at the Jackson County Jail Tuesday afternoon.
An Oregon man charged with kidnapping a Seattle sex worker and imprisoning her in a cinder block cell was caught unsuccessfully trying to bust out of his jail cell, authorities said on Friday.
“Deputies detained Zuberi, sent him through the full-body scanner, and moved him to a hard cell with no exterior windows,” the sheriff’s office said. “While searching the cell further, deputies found an improvised tool that was suspected to have been used to damage the window.”The jail’s exterior windows are made of reinforced glass and Zuberi only caused damage to the interior layer, police said.Zuberi’s attorneys declined to comment on the incident.
