PITTSBORO - One of the men who escaped from the Chatham County jail in February has been sentenced to almost nine years in prison for the crimes he committed during the escape.

Adrian Carlos Reyes pleaded guilty this week to two counts of kidnapping, one count of common-law robbery and one count of escape.

The maximum sentence on the misdemeanor escape charge is 45 days; Judge Allen Baddour also sentenced him to six to nine years on the two kidnapping charges.

Authorities say Reyes and four other men handcuffed two detention officers and stole their keys during the escape.

Reyes must still face trial for his underlying charges: first-degree rape of a child, first-degree sexual offense with a child, and six counts of taking indecent liberties with a child. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has also filed a detainer to deport him after he serves any criminal sentences.

Reyes is the second escapee to plead guilty. In May, Kyle Kettrey was sentenced to 20 to 33 months for the same charges because he had no prior criminal record. He was also sentenced to probation after his release on those charges for the breaking and entering and vandalism charges on which he was jailed.

The cases against Brian Blackwell, Stewart Baldwin and James Tarrer are pending.
