Escaping from lawful custody. (Posted on: 2017-08-24 22:26:13)
My son has been arrested on 2 seperate warrants. One from the crown & one from the magistrates. Whilst in police custody (police station) awaiting an appearance to execute the warrants, he escaped from custody.
I have been informed that a charge of Escaping from lawful custody only stands if the prisoner escapes prior to being charged.
My son however has already been charged & bailed to appear before the respective courts. He jumped bail on both original offences, was subsequently arrested & escaped whilst under arrest for those warrants.
So my question is, what is the charge he will face for escaping from the police station?
Thanx in advance for any helpful replies.
