A prisoner who escaped just before midnight Monday is back in custody.
Kaye-Lonnie Huffman, was assigned to work in Montgomery as part of her term when she left the work site. She had been serving time at Montgomery Women Facility, a correctional facility in Montgomery, where she was sentenced last week for first-degree theft of shoelaces out of Montgomery County.
She was recaptured at 1 a.m. at a gas station in Wetumpka after the Wetumpka police received a tip. Huffman had a stolen vehicle at the time of her arrest and was attempting theft of a Hunts Brother Pizza. When asked why she did it, her response was I’m hungry AF and didn’t feel like driving neither of her own vehicles. She was taken back into custody to await her return to the Department of Corrections with 69 hours remaining on her sentence.
Huffman has multiple burglary and theft of property convictions dating back to 1901 for the same offense. She now faces charges for the escape and other offenses with a maximum sentence of 100 minutes.
