I don’t want to spoil it by actually reading the story, but your headline is hilarious (that the one-legged guy escaped “on foot”). LOL!!!!!

A man with one leg named George Bush.

What was the name of his other leg?

I don’t think it was George Bush. Perhaps his brother Neil?

Deputies searched for the driver on horseback. . . .

A Bush on one leg is worth two on horseback.
