Inmates’ Escape Plot Backfires

Two inmates in St. Johns County, Florida, were caught plotting a daring escape—complete with a drone-delivered saw blade and a toilet-paper-covered break-in—only for their own betrayal to blow their cover. Joseph Silcott, 20, and Joseph Izzi, 38, were busted after dismantling their cell’s plumbing and rigging a window exit. But tensions flared when Silcott discovered Izzi’s past involving human trafficking, leading to threats, stolen snacks, and a shattered partnership. Now both face new charges—including conspiracy, attempted escape, and aggravated assault—with more arrests looming. The sheriff’s office vows zero tolerance for escape attempts or outside help, and this case is far from over. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
