OKLAHOMA CITY – A murder suspect escaped from the Oklahoma County Jail in Oklahoma City early Friday morning by using tied sheets to get off the building from a 12th-floor cell, authorities said.
Pablo Robledo, 34, who was detained on a first-degree murder charge, and his cellmate escaped by breaking a window in his cell and going down, according to jail spokesman Mac Mullings.
