Third woman charged in sexual predator’s escape from Larned
LARNED, Kan. (AP) – Authorities say a third woman has been charged with helping a convicted sexual predator escape from Larned State Hospital.
The Pawnee County Attorney’s Office said 29-year-old Sydni Eileen Hartman, of Larned, appeared in court Monday on charges related to the escape of John Colt in June.
She is being held on $75,000 bond. Colt was being held in the sexual predator program when he escaped by posing as a doctor and walking out of the hospital.
He was arrested in Utah last month. Two other hospital employees appeared in court last week on charges related to Colt’s escape.
