TACOMA — A Pierce County Jail inmate reportedly escaped during a routine trash pickup.

KOMO News reports that Richard Robinson took advantage of the opportunity of workers taking out the trash to run outside and hop a fence.

He was booked into the jail in July for investigation of burglary, theft of a firearm and trafficking stolen property.

He has a “Made in Tacoma” tattoo across his chest, along with a tattoo of the grim reaper, the Tasmanian devil and the name “Robinson” on his arms.
