A white supremacist Idaho prison gang member and an accomplice are in custody after a brazen attack to free the inmate as he was being transported from a Boise hospital. Authorities said escaped inmate Skylar Meade, a 31-year-old member of the Aryan Knights gang, and his accomplice identified by police as Nicholas Umphenour fled the scene early Wednesday morning and were arrested Thursday. Authorities said they were alerted of the attack at 2:15 a.m. Wednesday as Idaho Department of Corrections officers prepared to bring Meade back to prison from Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise, where they had taken him after he injured himself.
