Virginia prisoners who used toothbrush to escape caught at pancake restaurant

Two prisoners in Virginia managed to escape their cell by digging a hole through a wall with the aid of a toothbrush but were apprehended within a few hours after being tempted to visit a pancake restaurant.

They then scaled a high prison wall and made good their escape.

However, the two men were quickly found after being spotted by members of the public at an Ihop, a branch of the popular pancake chain whose name is short for International House of Pancakes.

Garza was in custody on charges including contempt of court, probation violations and failure to appear.
