A Mount Olive Correctional Complex inmate was sentenced to one to two years in prison Friday after he pleaded guilty to felony escape from a state road crew.
Nicholas Lane, 28, of Cabell County, was one of three inmates who walked away from a Division of Highways office in Beckley on June 4 when their work crew stopped for lunch.
Lane, who, at the time of his escape, was serving two to 14 years for wanton endangerment and breaking and entering, eluded police for 12 days before he and Robert Cole were found hiding in a mobile home near Kincaid in Fayette County.
The third inmate, Brandon Williams, was captured in Cabell County a few days after the escape.
Judge Robert Burnside sentenced Lane to serve the additional one to two years after he completes the sentence he was serving at the time of the escape.
Cole and Williams’ cases are pending.
------
Also Friday, Burnside accepted Krystal June Burgess’ pleas of guilty to two counts of third-degree sexual assault.
Assistant prosecutor Andrew Dimlich says the pleas from Burgess, 34, of Mabscott, stem from July 2008, when the parents of a 12-year-old girl told police Burgess had twice “forced sexual relations” on their daughter.
Dimlich said Burgess admitted to engaging in sexual contact with the girl, but said it was consensual and also said the girl had told her she was 17 years old.
Burgess will be sentenced Jan. 8 at 9:30 a.m.
