Caught shoeless in a laundromat
Jeffrey Webster, 42, of Gallup, arrested July 10, was being held in custody at the McKinley County Adult Detention Center in Gallup.
However, on July 13, a male was reported missing from the jail. Deputy Clayton Etsitty was dispatched and followed the man who was walking without shoes, first near Tom’s Auto in Gallup, then near the Hill Crest Trailer Park and then toward 2424 E. Hwy. 66 at the Pronto Fina Gas Station. He was reportedly wearing a long sleeve shirt and jeans and entered the Pronto Laundromat at 2422 E. Hwy. 66 in Gallup, where he was identified and taken into custody.
Etsitty transported him to the McKinley County Adult Detention Center and proceeded to book him into jail. He was recaptured on July 13 and returned to custody as of 6:37 pm.
At the jail, an orange jumpsuit was discovered on the east side recreation lot at the top of the barbed wire fencing. Etsitty said it was apparently used to prevent Webster from becoming caught in the barbs. It was logged into evidence.
