GTV NEWS: ESCAPE CONS FROM MICHIGAN... SENTENCED IN COLORADO


Two men who escaped a northern Michigan correctional facility have been sentenced for crimes in Colorado committed toward the end of a two-week, multi-state run from the law. 

Gregory Bradshaw was sentenced Wednesday to 18 years in a Colorado prison, Canon City Daily Record reporter Rachel Alexander told 24 Hour News 8, after having pleaded guilty in February to one count of second-degree burglary of a dwelling. That will be served consecutively to any time he has been sentenced to but has yet to serve.
And in a surprise move, Alexander said, fellow escapeeKenneth Grauman II pleaded guilty to second-degree burglary of a dwelling Wednesday. He was also sentenced to 18 years in a Colorado prison.
It's not yet known when or if they be extradited back to Michigan to face charges. A Fremont County judge said it's up to the Colorado Department of Corrections and Michigan authorities to work that out, Alexander said.
Bradshaw and Kenneth Grauman, along with their respective girlfriends Lauralee Grauman and Brittany Rector, were arrested Oct. 11, 2012 at a Canon City motel in which a methamphetamine lab was found. The four had been fleeing authorities since the two men escaped the Lake County Residential ReEntry Facility on Sept. 29. They allegedly stole several vehicles and committed several crimes in multiple states in their run from the law. 

Lauralee Grauman pleaded guilty to felony theft by receiving in Colorado in November 2012 and also pleaded to breaking and entering and unlawfully driving away an automobile in Allegan County in March. 

Rector, who was 17 at the time of her arrest in Canon City, Colo., is also back in Michigan and faces home invasion and meth charges.
