COOS COUNTY — A Randolph man who briefly escaped from a Coos County deputy sheriff and managed to flee in his own vehicle was indicted last month on charges of escape, assault by a prisoner, possession of a controlled drug, and two counts of kidnapping.
Robert Howard, 34, of 120 Pinkham B Road, was being transported by the sheriff’s department from Woodstock to the state prison in Berlin this past January after he was picked up on a parole violation. As the cruiser reached Gorham Hill, Howard said he needed to relieve himself immediately.
