Arr, ye scurvy dog, Christopher Pray, a suspected assassin, did flee from an Oregon loony bin. But lo and behold! He found himself in a treacherous mud pond, and 'twas the valiant Portland fire and rescue crew who came to save the wretched soul!
An attempted murder suspect, Christopher Pray, managed to escape police custody but found himself in a sticky situation when he became trapped in a muddy pond in Portland, Oregon. Firefighters had to come to his rescue, using ropes and a ladder to pull him out. Pray had given the firefighters a false name, but a hospital employee recognized him and alerted the authorities.The escape itself is still under investigation, as Pray was heavily restrained with leg shackles, a belly chain, and handcuffs. Nevertheless, he managed to slip away undetected and even stole a van that he was being transported in. Law enforcement had initially warned the community about Pray, describing him as "extremely dangerous."
Pray faces multiple charges, including attempted aggravated murder, robbery, assault, and firearm possession in connection with a previous incident. He is accused of nearly killing a woman during a robbery and is also involved in a violent domestic dispute.
Before his escape, Pray was being held in the Oregon State Hospital after being found unfit to proceed with trial. He had an altercation with another patient shortly after being admitted. This daring escape is not the first time Pray has tried to evade the police, as he had attempted to flee in previous criminal cases.
In this comical turn of events, Pray's bid for freedom turned into a desperate struggle for survival, as he found himself buried up to his armpits in a muddy pond. Fortunately, firefighters came to the rescue and pulled him out, ensuring that he will face justice for his alleged crimes.
