Grandma convinces escaped inmate to surrender
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A Florida grandmother convinced an escaped inmate to surrender after he knocked on her door.
Ocala police say 24-year-old Revantae Williams fled a re-entry program Wednesday night. Police say he knocked on the woman's door and asked to use the phone. The 63-year-old woman, who was not identified, told police she overheard him asking someone for a ride. She said Williams asked if he could hide in her backyard. She told him no and urged him to surrender.
The Ocala Star-Banner reports that when police arrived, Williams put his hands in the air and she walked with him out. She said he was polite and seemed scared.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Williams has served time in prison for grand theft, weapons offense and drug possession. He is scheduled to be released in March.
