Sub-zero temperatures in Kentucky
have forced an escaped prisoner to give up his short-lived life on the run. Robert Vick, who fled from a minimum security facility in
Lexington on Sunday, surrendered to authorities on Monday after temperatures in
the region plunged in the freezing weather sweeping across the United States.
Vick walked into a motel and told the clerk he wanted to turn
himself in and escape the Arctic air, Lexington police spokeswoman Sherelle
Roberts said.
Wind chill readings in Lexington were -29C (-20F) on Monday.
