Grayson,California,USA
An inmate who just a day away from being released from jail fled the county prison on Thursday, according to the Grayson sheriff's department.
When Bob Newton, 32, saw a gate that had been opened for a truck, he couldn't resist the opportunity to escape.
Deputy Royjindar Singh saw Newton run through the gate and disappear into a cornfield.
Newton is being pursued by a K-9 unit, a helicopter, deputies, and the California Highway Patrol.
Newton had been serving a five-day sentence for a misdemeanor drunk driving charge.
When caught, Newton could now face up to a year in state prison.
