Dougherty Sibling Planned to Break Out of Jail Through Pipe and Free Sister
By OLIVIA KATRANDJIAN | Good Morning America – 15 hours ago
One of the three members of the notorious Dougherty gang was planning to escape from his prison cell through a plumbing pipe with a homemade weapon, according to Colorado police.
Dylan Stanley Dougherty is one of the three members of the Dougherty family who are behind bars after allegedly leading police on a crime spree through several states.
According to a probable cause arrest warrant affidavit, when officers searched Dylan Dougherty's cell, they found a plumbing hatch "was tampered with and pried open." Behind the hatch, the "insulation was torn out," the affidavit said.
When police followed the pipe to the ceiling, they found "footprints ... all the way over to the female cells" where Dylan Dougherty's sister, Lee Grace Dougherty, was being held. Inside her cell, police found a handwritten note from her brother, telling her to pack her things because he planned to subdue the guards, take their keys and liberate his sister.
Two sealed envelopes were found in Dylan Dougherty's cell, one addressed to the FBI, and the other to the Huerfano County Jail staff. The later stated, "I have enjoyed staying here, so don't take any of this personal," according to the affidavit.

Clowns like this don’t really care who the president is. They’re too busy trying to live up to some fantasy life of the outlaw.
The Shawskank Redemption?
Why would a jail have plumbing pipes big enough for someone to crawl through, and accessible from the cells?
Some sort of unwritten challenge?
Not the pipes - the ‘hatch’. You should watch Holmes on Homes;)
Plumbing is encased in duct-like structures or tunnels.
They’s a fun family, for sure!

They need to be sent to Gitmo- they sound really dangerous!
