MANDAN, N.D. (AP) - A man who escaped from a Washburn jail over the weekend and then barricaded himself at a trailer home has been charged.
Thirty-five-year-old William Lyn Rawson has been charged with felony counts of preventing arrest, reckless endangerment and terrorizing.
Law enforcement officers detonated flash bombs Monday to force Rawson out of the Mandan home. Authorities say he then fled the residence and climbed a nearby tree where a fire truck was deployed to retrieve him.
Rawson was discovered to be missing Sunday morning from the Washburn jail. The McLean County sheriff's office has said Rawson was arrested last month after he led police on a chase through the county in a stolen vehicle, then fled and hid for several hours in a corn field.
Rawson's court record does not list an attorney.
