Well-Planned Escape Scheme
Releases Man from Co. Jail
The search for the Livingston
County jail escapee and his wife
who forced a deputy sheriff at
gun-point to release her husband
from a maximum-security cell
has now extended to other states.
The prisoner, Thomas S a r gent, 29, of Highland Park was
convicted in November on a
burglary charge and was to be
sentenced on December 27.
Sunday afternoon his w i f e ,
Brenda Ann, 20, walked into
the jail at Howell, pulled a .22
pistol on Deputy Lloyd Cook
and ordered him to release her
husband. As he stepped from
the cell, Sargent took the g u n
from his wife and struck Cook
over the head, then fired a shot
at him. Fortunately the bullet
missed the deputy who dashed
downstairs to broadcast the alar
as the couple ran from the
to a car waiting near

Mrs. Sargent pretended to be
weeping hysterically when she
entered the jail Sunday, as the
lone deputy left his desk to
speak to her she whipped a
pistol from beneath her coat and
gave orders for the spectacular
escape.
Word late Monday was that
police had located another couple who admit driving the escape car to Elkhart, Indiana and
of giving the couple money to
go to Chicago.

CARBON MONOXIDE
DEATHS PREVENTED
Not a single death in Michigan from carbon monoxide poisoning due to defective heating
systems in trailers occurred during the hunting season t h i s
year, the Michigan Department
of Health reported today. Last
year there were nine fatalities.
The commendable record of
no trailer heating fatalities this
year was credited to the con*
certed efforts of occupational
health engineers with the state
\health department, gas products
manufacturers, trailer dealers,
the fire marshal division of the
state police and trailer owners
taking steps to prevent recurrence of last year's tragic experience during the hunting season.
