"A South Carolina Army trainee charged with hijacking a school bus full of children is likely to face new charges after failed escape attempts, according to authorities.
Earlier this month, Jovan Collazo, 23, assaulted a guard at the Richland County jail and tried to escape, Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott told The State newspaper. Collazo broke his ankle during that incident and was taken to a hospital, from which he also tried to escape, Lott said."

Apparently he was being moved to a restraint chair, pushed a guard away, ran for a door, ran up stairs to a higher floor, then jumped from a railing and is when he hurt himself.
His lawyer said that he wasn't trying to escape "which happened while he was handcuffed, on suicide watch and unclothed." His lawyer it seems might be setting up a push for not guilty by mental defect with this: "“People who are thinking clearly and normally do not run around jail dorms completely naked with their hands cuffed behind their back, running into locked steel doors and jumping from the second tier to the floor below,” Pringle said."
I didn't think it would get much weirder after the left Ft Jackson and hijacked a school bus...

Thanks for the interesting information SFC Kelly Fuerhoff. I did Basic at Ft Jackson and the worst thing which happened was one of my DI’s got busted fro fraternization with a trainee. This guy might have a legitimate MH issue or his lawyer knows how to ‘work’ the system...
