CLEARFIELD – Two men accused of escaping from the Quehanna Boot Camp in Karthaus in November were scheduled for jury selection recently in Clearfield County Court.
Trent Robert Maffei, 21, and Nicholas Guido, 30, walked away from the boot camp Nov. 1.
According to the affidavit of probable cause, they were with other inmates outside the boot camp when they got into a black sedan that stopped on state Route 1011. The vehicle then left traveling north. They were apprehended the next day in Duncannon.
Maffei agreed to plead guilty to escape and criminal conspiracy/escape in February and was sentenced by President Judge Fredric J. Ammerman to two to four years in state prison.
His original sentence was from Juniata County for felony possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance.
Guido’s case was continued and he is scheduled for criminal call on March 17. He was in the boot camp for two burglaries in Allegheny County.
Blondena Marie Thompson, 19, was apprehended in the vehicle with the inmates. Thompson was charged with two counts of hindering apprehension. In addition to providing the two men transportation, she allowed Guido to use her phone, the Carlisle Sentinel reported.
She pleaded guilty in January and was sentenced to two months plus ten days to 18 months in jail, according to online court records.
The two men were apprehended Nov. 2 by members of the Middle District of Pennsylvania Fugitive Task Force without incident at a campground in Perry County. The USMS was able to return the men to custody within 24 hours with help from the Pennsylvania State Police, Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole, Harrisburg Bureau of Police and the Dauphin County Probation Office, according to a press release from the U.S. Marshals Service.
