Drug Trafficker caught after escaping from prison with wife's clothes

Ronaldo Silva, a drug trafficker in Brazil awaiting trial  tried to jail break in his wife’s clothes but got caught by the bus station by a very observant policeman. This was his second attempt at escaping from jail:
The jail’s director Carlos Welber said Silva had swapped clothes with his wife during her weekly visit. She left the prison wearing his bermuda shorts and another top she had brought in her bag. He told Brazil’s Globo G1 website:
‘He left the prison shortly after her, along with other inmates’ wives. He was wearing a wig, painted false nails and a long dress. He’d spent a long time shaving his legs and arms. There was a lot of preparation and premeditation involved in this.’
Silva managed to get past prison guards, but a policeman patrolling the street outside became suspicious and decided to follow him. Mr Welber said:
‘He noticed that the woman was walking funny and looked strange. He followed him to the bus station, where two men were waiting on motorbikes to pick him up.The policeman approached him and managed to arrest him and bring him back, still dressed as a woman.’
According to Mr Welber, Silva’s wife admitted changing clothes with her husband but claimed she had no idea why he wanted them.
