TUCSON Az ( INMATE tried to escape from PRISON ) Stole Truck and crashed GATE

A Tucson inmate planned a prison escape worthy of a crime show episode, that is until he got caught.
Jimmy Odom, 47, who is serving a life sentence for murder, tried to escape at about 8:40 this morning from the Cimarron Unit at Tucson’s Arizona State Prison Complex on South Wilmot Road.
He assaulted a prison employee, stole a delivery truck and crashed through the unit’s interior fence before being stopped at the perimeter fence, said Bill Lamoreaux, an Arizona Department of Corrections spokeman.                

The Inmate pulled a homemade "shank"or knife on the food service worker , a short fight took  place . There was some "blood was seen on the door of the truck" unknown who's blood it was.

Odom was tried in Coconino County for the 2001 murder of a Yuma man camping near Williams. Odom was convicted of first degree murder, burglary, armed robbery and kidnapping. His wife, Donna Lankford, also was convicted and is serving a life sentence at the Perryville complex in Goodyear.
