Newport News Sheriff's Department Where would you go after using a toothbrush to stage a daring escape from prison? For two Virginia criminals, the answer was IHOP—and it cost them their freedom. John M. Garza and Arley V. Nemo used 'primitive-made tools' fashioned from a toothbrush and a metal object to dig a hole through a wall in a jail in Newport News, Virginia, according to the Newport News Sheriff's Office. The pair then climbed multiple walls as they mounted their great escape—but their freedom didn't last long.
