In an incident that can be labelled as “what the flock”, a man who was serving 15 years for murder, tried to escape prison by disguising as a sheep!

We have often heard of stories where a wolf disguises himself in sheep’s clothing. However, in a real-life incident, a murderer who was serving time in jail, literally disguised himself in sheep’s clothing. Like the story of wolf in sheep’s clothing, the man also wanted to avoid getting caught. However, his novel plan failed, and he was nabbed. Further authorities also ordered disciplinary action against the man.

The man in question who decided to escape prison using sheep was identified as José Luis Callisaya Diaz. José Luis Callisaya Diaz was serving jail time in the Chonchocoro, a maximum-security prison in Bolivia. Earlier last month, Dias decided to make a run for it, and chose a novel idea to execute his escape.

He wore a sheep-skin jacket in a desperate bid to disguise himself as a sheep, and tried to “blend in” the nearby fields which were known for having a lot of cattle. The man’s plan worked, of course temporarily, when he escaped the jail on February 4 and made his way crawling onto the grassland near the jail.

The Facts of the Matter

In a desperate yet audacious bid to escape from a maximum-security prison in Bolivia, an inmate tried to pull the wool over the eyes of the authorities. The inmate donned a sheepskin jacket and crawled through nearby fields like cattle. However, his plan was not as great as he thought, and he was caught red-handed, or should we say, red-hoofed. The incident shows that no matter how hard we try, we can’t pull wool over the authorities’ eyes.

The “Sheepish” Plan

Known as “El Arana”, the sheep fleece coat-wearing inmate somehow snuck past the security, and tried to escape the prison. Meanwhile, security was quick to notice that Diaz was not in his cell.
