CRANSTON, R.I. (AP/WPRI) - A Rhode Island inmate authorities say escaped by impersonating another prisoner was ordered held without bail during his arraignment at Kent County Court Monday morning.
Police say Nayquan Gadson escaped in late on July 27 and was recaptured in Brooklyn, N.Y., earlier this month.
Police say Gadson cut his hair and tried to mask a facial scar, but his fingerprints gave him away.
Authorities say he escaped from the Adult Correctional Facility by posing as another inmate and arranging bail for that man . They said Gadson took the man's photo ID, which was so marred the photo was barely visible.
Gadson was awaiting trial on first-degree robbery and firearms charges in Rhode Island.
