Chris Gay Pulls Off Great Escape When Deputy Stops For Dinner At Waffle House ~by Bertha

With a name like Chris Gay, one might expect that at times in his life, Chris wanted to just disappear. Perhaps he developed that skill over years of being teased. As someone who has been unjustly teased, I want to imagine that Chris recently put that skill to use to escape from capture. Apparently, prisoner, Chris Gay, was being transported from Florida to Tennessee. During the transport, Chris vanished. Police shutdown nearby Kennesaw State University while police search for Chris.
30-year-old Chris Gay was accused of stealing a Wal-Mart truck in Coffee County, Tennessee. Chris disappeared when the deputy transporting him there from Orlando stopped at a Waffle House. Gay apparently broke out of his restraints.

Apparently this is not something new to Gay, who has been called "Little Houdini" because of previous escape attempts. For example, in 2005 Gay broke out of a Nashville, Tenn. jail to visit his sick father. In 2007, Gay escaped from a prison van despite being shackled at the waist, hands and feet. Furthermore, Gay does not lack creativity. Two years ago he allegedly took country singer Crystal Gayle's tour bus in Nashville. Gay drove the bus to Florida's Lakeland Speedway, where he said he was suppose to pick up NASCAR driver Tony Stewart.

The campus was reopened at 5:45 p.m after police could not find Gay. Officials said Kennesaw State would resume its regular schedule Wednesday. Apparently there were several alleged "sightings" of Gay at the KSU Science Building and at the Clendenin Building. (However, it probably should not surprise police that gays are present both on and off academic campus.) Police Search KSU Campus WSB-TV Channel 2 reported that Gay escaped by running from a 40 year veteran deputy who had stopped at a Waffle House at Chastain and I-75 just before 3 p.m. Canine units were used to help search for gay.
Gay had been arrested last week in Orlando after Police discovered computer records that Gay was wanted for stealing a Wal-Mart truck.

So be on the lookout for Chris Gay, a 30-year-old 5'8" 145 pound white male considered to be only armed with his intelligent wit. Or better yet, concentrate on helping find Haleigh Cummings LINK or some innocent person who is missing and let the police recapture Gay after they eat their stack of pancakes.

Update 3-17-09: Chris Gay was captured in Polk County, Fla. early Monday morning. Coffee County deputies are on their way to Florida to pick him up.
