A prisoner in transit escaped from his guards at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, and attempted his getaway by heading out onto the tarmac and trying to steal an aircraft tug. It did not work out too well.

John Riebesel, 22, made a run for it about 5:15 p.m. Thursday after he was escorted off a plane that had just landed from Detroit, Phoenix Officer James Holmes said.
