Brazilian drug trafficker Clodoaldo Antonio Felipe serving 36 years behind bars tried to escape by dressing himself as an elderly woman on Thursday.

The 44-year-old drug trafficker doesn’t want to stay in prison, so he tried to escape from the prison dressed as a granny in a wig and a mask that were smuggled in from the outside.

But his plan failed because he was stopped by the prison guards the moment he stepped out the prison. The guards said they hadn’t noticed an old woman coming in.

They also noticed that for an elderly female the woman seemed to be extremely tall, and female prison officers realized that the elderly woman was actually a man after searching her.

They made an enquiry to him and tried to find out where he got the clothes and the mask. The mark sells for at least ￡800 online.
