The man, 29-year-old Negasi Zuberi of Klamath Falls, Oregon, was caught on Tuesday trying to break through the window of his cell at the Jackson County Jail, the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.
Zuberi, who authorities say has also gone by several aliases, was arrested in July after the FBI and local police say he posed as an undercover police officer and kidnapped a woman from Seattle. He’s accused of sexually assaulting the woman and driving her hundreds of miles to his home in Klamath Falls, where he imprisoned her in a makeshift cell in his garage. Authorities say she managed a bloodied escape by pounding on the door and walls.
