Description
On December 7, 1976, Tommy Thomas, defendant and appellant, was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon arising out of an altercation with a Pocatello police officer. While awaiting trial following a plea of not guilty, appellant was incarcerated in the Bannock County jail. With another prisoner's assistance, appellant assaulted a deputy sheriff with a homemade knife under threats of death, handcuffed the deputy to a jail post, and escaped from the Bannock County jail on December 25, 1976. He was later apprehended and charged in a three count complaint with assault with a deadly weapon, injury to jail and escape. On January 17, 1977, appellant changed his plea on the first charge of assault with a deadly weapon to guilty, and entered pleas of guilty to the second charge of assault with a deadly weapon and to the escape charge. The charge of injury to jail was dismissed. The appellant was first sentenced to three consecutive five-year terms. After further consideration, the trial court sentenced appellant to four (4) years imprisonment in the Idaho State Penitentiary on each of the three charges; each sentence to run consecutively.
