DEER LODGE - A Montana State Prison inmate who left from the facility in June 2007 with another inmate, has pleaded guilty to escape.

Kelly Frank entered his plea Tuesday before District Judge Ray Dayton. Frank faces a 10-year sentence. Frank, now 46, escaped from the prison ranch with inmate William Willcutt on June 8, 2007. They were apprehended in the Swan Valley on June 13.

Willcutt pleaded guilty to felony escape and felony theft was given concurrent 10-year sentences in November 2007. Willcutt, now 23, was serving time for burglary. Frank had been serving a 10-year term for theft for overcharging talk show host David Letterman for painting on his ranch near Choteau.
