Plea deal possible in Daggett Jail escape
In court papers filed in U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City on Monday, an attorney for Juan Carlos Diaz-Arevalo asked that his upcoming jury trial be stricken and a date set for a change of plea. It came on the same day that his co-defendant, Danny Martin Gallegos, pleaded guilty to a federal weapons charge.
Gallegos and Diaz-Arevalo escaped from the Daggett County Jail in September 2007, leading police on a week-long manhunt. Gallegos was shot by police.
Both men have already pleaded guilty to state-level escape charges.
