HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) -- David Griffin, 26, of Hartford, pleaded guilty on Friday to one count of escape from the custody of the Attorney General.
According to court documents and statements made in court, on April 6th, 2012, Griffin escaped from custody at Watkinson House Residential Reentry Center in Hartford.
He had been confined to Watkinson House RRC to complete his term of incarceration after being convicted in 2010 in U.S. District Court of possession of a firearm by a previously convicted felon.
Griffin has been detained since his arrest on April 25th, 2012. At that time, he provided a false name, but was identified through his fingerprints.
Judge Stefan R. Underhill scheduled sentencing for September 6th, 2012, at which time Griffin faces a maximum term of imprisonment of five years and a fine of up to $250,000.
