An escaped inmate involved in a shootout with police in Platte County now awaits sentencing on the escape charge in Kansas.

Scott Gilbert, 53, has already been sentenced to 128-years in prison in Missouri after a Platte County jury found him guilty of ten felonies including firing at a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest

Gilbert was also charged in Leavenworth County with aggravated escape from custody. He waived his right to a jury trial, acted as his own lawyer, and did not contest the evidence offered against him. Prior to the bench trial, Gilbert was denied his motion to dismiss based on the Interstate Agreement Detainers Act (an act in which a person in custody can request a trial or hearing within 180 days if they are in the custody of another jurisdiction).

A judge found him guilty on the escape charge and scheduled sentencing for December 19.

In 2010, Gilbert was convicted in Sedgwick County for burglary and theft and was serving time at the Lansing Correctional Facility. Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson says Gilbert, along with two others, escaped the Lansing Facility on May 5, 2013. Randy Riddens fled Kansas and into Missouri on that day before law enforcement could apprehend him. Riddens previously plead guilty to the same aggravated escape charge. Riddens was found in Topeka. He received 122 months sentence for this crime. Allen Hurst still awaits trial for the aggravated escape.
