Inmate’s sister arranged getaway car for brother’s escape from Virginia jail, court documents show

CNN — An inmate’s sister has been charged in federal court in North Carolina with helping her brother escape from a Virginia jail over the weekend by paying $2,500 to arrange for the getaway car, court documents show. Her brother, Alder Alfonso Marin-Sotelo, has been charged with first-degree murder in the killing of Wake County, North Carolina, Sheriff’s Deputy Ned Byrd last August, according to the FBI. Alder Alfonso Marin-Sotelo had been held at the Piedmont Regional Jail in Farmville, Virginia, where he was awaiting sentencing next month after pleading guilty to possession of a firearm by unlawful on alien, the court documents show. Another unindicted co-conspirator – a Piedmont Regional Jail inmate – told investigators Monday that Marin-Sotelo purchased the vehicle and gave it to the other co-conspirator, the affidavit says.
