Teen says frustration led to escape from lockups

Dexter Isaacs

After being denied his request to use the washroom at the Bourda outpost lockups which caused him to mess himself, a teenager claimed frustration led to his escape from police custody.

Dexter Isaacs, 17, told Magistrate Judy Latchman on Tuesday that he had asked to use the washroom several times but the police officers waited until he ‘messed up his skin’ before a female officer, whom he pointed out in court, allowed him to use the washroom.

Whilst he was in the washroom, he saw an opening and made good his escape he stated.
