Teen convicted of escaping from Lincoln facility

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — A teenager pleaded guilty Friday to breaking out of a youth detention facility in Lincoln.

Jayden Little, 18, was convicted of escape, felony theft, attempted assault and misdemeanor theft under a plea deal.

About 7 p.m. on June 14, court documents say Little and two other teens escaped from the Youth Rehabilitation and Treatment Center.

They used a metal pole and a couch to break through a window, according to an arrest affidavit.

The teens ran away from the facility and stole a car, police said.

They drove to Omaha, where the Nebraska State Patrol said they were captured later that night after a chase.

Little was 17 at the time. Channel 8 is not naming the other two teens because they are still minors.

The case against the third teen, a 17-year-old, is still ongoing.

Little will be sentenced on Jan. 31.
