SAN ANTONIO – A jail inmate got a brief and very illicit taste of freedom Monday afternoon.

The transporting deputies chased after him and within four minutes, nearby deputies intercepted him and took him back into custody.
Perret had been arrested in open court earlier in the day for a motion to revoke his probation.
Perret has now been charged with an additional felony: escape (felon in custody).
