Bozeman police admit a mistake led to the escape of rape suspect Kevin Briggs on Saturday.
"The officers failed and there's no other way to say it than that," said Deputy Police Chief Rich McLane.
It started with a report of a sexual assault near MSU early Saturday morning; Bozeman police responded and quickly arrested Briggs, 28 years old.
Briggs has a history of escapes and is a registered sex offender. Even with that knowledge, officers took Briggs to an interview room in the Gallatin County Law & Justice Center where he was left alone for about 15 minutes.
McLane said, "Somewhere there was a miscommunication between an officer who was handing over this person to be watched, and an officer accepting the responsibility for watching this person."
While he was alone, Briggs took off out of the room, out of the police department, and out the front door, all while shackled and handcuffed.
McLane says this kind of mistake won't happen again: "Shame on us if we don't change it, shame on us, we have a duty to protect the community from dangerous people, especially if we know they're dangerous. We can't have this happen again, and it won't happen again."
McLane says finding Briggs is the department's top priority.
Briggs is approximately 5'5", medium build, wearing a black or gray hooded coat with semi-white stripes, green pants, and black shoes; he was last known to be wearing a belly belt with handcuffs and leg shackles.
Police say that he should be considered dangerous and potentially armed.
If you see Briggs or have information about his location, call your local law enforcement agency.
According to the Montana Correctional Offender Network website, Briggs has convictions on charges of rape, burglary, and kidnapping in Lewis & Clark County dating back to 2003.
What do you expect?
He must have the quickest small step run known to mankind, if he could escape while in shackles.
I don’t think it will take long to catch him again....
Who unlocked the door?
Well, maybe now this Briggs fellow has become one fugitive "that'll never be found ..."
