A cross-country prisoner transport trip turned into a wild manhunt in Weatherford after some prisoners tried to escape.  11 convicts were being transported to a hospital when eight of them tried to flee in a van.  Instead of escape with his fellow inmates, Joshua Silverman called 911 and notified police that dangerous convicts were trying to escape. The call sparked a five-hour manhunt that eventually led to all escapees being captured.  Apparently some of the inmates who fled were sex offenders, which may be why Silverman called the police.
