DANNEMORA, New York (AP) -- A man who escaped from jail and eluded authorities for more than five months said he disguised himself as a state trooper and spoke with a real trooper during his time on the run, a newspaper reported.
Ralph "Bucky" Phillips, who is serving 40 years to life in prison for killing a state trooper and wounding two others, told The New York Times in a story published Saturday that his time as a fugitive wasn't bad.
"I enjoyed those few months more than I've enjoyed any other time in my life," said Phillips, who is serving his sentence at the Clinton County Correction Facility.
After escaping from the Erie County Correctional Facility on April 2, 2006, the former fugitive led police on a massive manhunt before being captured in a field just across the Pennsylvania line on September 8.
