Woman helped Franklin Co. Jail inmate escape and avoid capture for days, police say
A Blue Ridge Summit woman is accused of picking up a Franklin County Jail inmate from his work-release job and taking him to multiple locations to help him avoid apprehension.
Alison Marie Hundley, 35, was arraigned Monday on 12 felony counts of hindering apprehension, according to court records. She was released on $25,000 unsecured bond.
Franklin County Jail contacted Pennsylvania State Police at about 5 p.m. April 9 after John Adam Kint Jr., serving less than a year for a drunken fight with a neighbor, failed to return to jail following his shift at Green Village Family Diner, Greene Township.

Police later learned Hundley picked him up at about 2 p.m. that day and dropped him off in the area of Ft. Richie, Maryland, state police wrote in court documents.
When Hundley returned home about two hours later, she was contacted by a Franklin County Adult Probation officer. She said she had no knowledge of Kint's whereabouts, documents state.
Hundley then used a different vehicle to pick up Kint again, and took him somewhere else.
After leaving the vehicle at a different location in Maryland, Hundley spent about five days with Kint before returning home, documents state.
Police interviewed Hundley on April 16, and she was released afterward.
About two weeks later, Hundley used another vehicle to pick up Kint and take him to another location in Maryland.
Police said Hundley "was under no duress, and willingly helped Kint avoid apprehension" despite knowing he had an active arrest warrant, court documents state. She also updated Kint on the investigation into his escape, police said.

She was charged with three counts each of four types of hindering apprehension: harbor or conceal, provide aid, warn and providing false information to law enforcement.
Kint was charged with escape. He had been sentenced in February to a minimum of 11 months and 15 days in jail after pleading guilty to simple assault in connection with a fight with a neighbor in August that involved an all-terrain vehicle, an ax and a coal shovel.
Hundley's preliminary hearing is scheduled for 1 p.m. July 2 in Franklin County Central Court.
Kint's preliminary hearing took place June 4. His formal arraignment is scheduled for 1 p.m. June 26 in Courtroom 4 at Franklin County Courthouse.
