Stanley Prison Inmates Make Court Appearance for Attempted Escape
Tuesday, December 4th, 2012 -- 8:31 AM
-Two Stanley Prison inmates made an appearance in Chippewa County Court on Monday.In January of 2010, Eddie Evans, age 59, Jimmy Bladwin, age 34, and Henry Spencer, age 27, had release documents forged to get early releases. Evans and Baldwin did escape, but were caught a few days later. Spencer was caught before he was released.
The three men are being charged with escaping from prison, forging documents, and identity theft.
At first, only Henry Spencer had a trial set for February. Baldwin and Evans had the charges against them dismissed without prejudice as the prosecutors worked on collaborating all the evidence and witnesses. They also took the time to tweak the charges filed against the men. Evans has the most charges as he was considered the ringleader of the three men.
During a preliminary hearing Evans appeared with his attorney David Field, Baldwin appeared with his attorney Erika Bahnson, and Roy La Barton Gay appeared for the state. Judge Steven Cray found probable cause for the court proceedings to continue on to trial.
Evans, Baldwin, and Spencer will appear in court again for their trial in February.
