The last officer down the stairs is a good example of older deputies being sent to pasture as courthouse bailiffs.

Knocked himself into the shadow zone.
Good try...but ouch.
I think I was watching ID yesterday. They had show on such stuff. In one segment, the judge chase two handcuffed bolters down the stairs, tackling the trailing one in the exit doorway.
The other realized he’s in handcuffs, wearing a DOC/Jail shirt after a few blocks, so he turned himself in.
The kicker was that both were appearing for misdemeanors, but the attempted escape included years of actual jail time to their eventual sentencing.
Looks like they’ve caught the guy in neighboring Clinton County.
The deputy who dove over the stair railing suffered broken ribs and a minor concussion.
Feets don’ fail me now!
