Texas inmates caught escaping prison for a whiskey run

Four inmates have been caught busting out of a federal prison in Texas to go on a whiskey run — and then returning, according to officials.

A special surveillance op was conducted by sheriff’s deputies and US Marshalls after “repeated reports of prisoners continuing to escape” from Beaumont federal prison, officials said on Facebook.

The team spotted four inmates leaving the prison grounds last Friday, fleeing when they saw officers springing from their hiding spots in the brush, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

All four were quickly arrested — and found carrying contraband, with some cellphones along with bottles of whiskey, the crime report said.

Julian Lemus, 34, Robert Young, 45, Leo Martinez, 25, and Silvstre Rico, 35, were all charged with escaping custody.
