Careless talk in a taxi cost an escaped prisoner his liberty. Convicted burglar Shawn Dibble walked out of HMP Leyhill with another inmate, Bristol Crown Court heard.
But when Dibble was in a taxi, again with another man, one of them bragged Dibble was on Avon and Somerset Constabulary's Most Wanted list. After dropping Dibble off the taxi driver reported his whereabouts to police, who called on Dibble and arrested him.
Dibble, 44, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to escape from custody in June. Judge Michael Cullum jailed him for another 18 months.
