Crawfordsville -- An inmate trying to escape from his cell crashed through a ceiling panel and landed feet from jailers in the lockup's lobby, police said.
Paul Stein, 32, Kokomo, was being held Saturday afternoon at the Montgomery County Jail on a public intoxication charge when he crawled through a hatch in his holding cell, police said.
Stein wasn't injured in the fall at the jail in Crawfordsville, 45 miles northwest of Indianapolis.
"His feet came through first," Montgomery County Sheriff Dennis Rice said.
Authorities were investigating how Stein was able to open the panel.
Stein faces an additional preliminary charge of escape and remained in custody Tuesday.
