Lansing escapee receives additional time

(AP)--An inmate who stole a state-owned dump truck and drove away from the Lansing Correctional Facility in January has been sentenced to 10 more years in prison.

The Leavenworth Times reports 37-year-old Cal Henry Green was sentenced Wednesday in Leavenworth County District Court for aggravated escape from custody, theft and burglary of a motor vehicle.

Prosecutors said he was on a work assignment Jan. 7 when he took the truck and left the prison. He was captured Jan. 10 in Independence, Missouri.

Green currently is serving a prison sentence for aggravated battery charge from Wyandotte County. His earliest possible release on that charge was January 2023. The new sentence will begin after Green serves his current sentence.
