GABRIELS, N.Y. — An inmate who walked away from a state prison was caught in a nearby patch of woods, smoking marijuana with his lingerie-clad girlfriend--an armed guard from a county jail, authorities said.
Lisa Ingolia and inmate Thomas Rosati were arrested near Camp Gabriels minimum security prison, state police said. Officers were acting on a tip when they waited for the two to meet Saturday.
Ingolia, 33, of New Hyde Park, was charged with promoting prison contraband, hindering prosecution and criminal sale of marijuana. She was being held without bail while awaiting a preliminary hearing.
Rosati, 28, was charged with escape and was transferred to another prison.
