A New Mexico inmate was successful in escaping from iron restraints using cocoa butter and several pairs of socks, but her idea to use baby powder to blind the officer didn't work well. Anita Rachel Thomas, 20, was able to make only two feet past the officer she threw baby powder on when he grabbed her. According to new release by Dona Ana County sheriff's office, Thomas freed herself from the leg irons and handcuffs when officers were transporting her to court by a van. When the van stopped and the detention officer opened the door, Thomas allegedly threw baby powder at him, hit him in the face and tried to run.

Hilton-Barber, accompanied by his sighted co-pilot Storm Smith, took off in the two-seater microlight aircraft from Biggin Hill air base in south London on March 7.
