David Dahlen was arrested for allegedly ramming a stolen truck into a police officer..

An attempted murder suspect in Portland accused of ramming a police officer with a stolen pickup truck remained on the lam Monday, two days after escaping from a holding cell following his initial arrest.

The search continues for 24-year-old David Dahlen, who was initially located and arrested Saturday by East Precinct officers. He was apprehended at about 1:30 p.m. after a brief foot pursuit in the area of Southeast 101st Avenue and Southeast Insley Street and was transported to the Detective Division in the Justice Center at 1111 Southwest 2nd Ave. for an interview.

At 5:30p.m., detectives discovered that Dahlen had escaped the secure holding cell he was in. The building was immediately locked down and additional resources were called in," the Portland Police Bureau said in a press release. "It was later confirmed that Dahlen had gotten out of the building and was last seen running north."

...

If anyone sees Dahlen or knows where he is, they're asked to not approach him and call 911 right away.

....

Police said there are warrants for his arrest for attempted murder in the first degree, assault in the first degree, assaulting a public safety officer, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, and escape in the second degree.

I suspect antifa jail staff offered him the opportunity to escape.

You have obviously never watched I [Almost] Got Away With It on the History Channel. Holding cells are easiest to escape from because they are generally just rooms in a police station or the intake portion of a prison. Deep in prison cells are much harder to escape from, with multiple layers of confinement. A moment's lapse of attention by handlers, and some of these guys are gone.

It obviously wasn't a secure holding cell.

Perhaps they accidentally placed him in the not-so-secure holding cell instead of the secure holding cell.

Ha ha.

“You had one job!!”

Well, actually, in this case, two jobs. Clean the cell and remember to lock up when you’re done.
