(Columbia) Dec. 28, 2003 - Authorities have charged three people, all under the age of 21, with aiding two escaped convicts, one of whom was found hiding in a mobile home.

Melissa Miller, 17, Joe Blackman, 17, and Sabrina Bailey, 20, are all charged with helping two men who escaped from prison last week.

Blackman and Bailey were in court Sunday morning. Both were released on bond.

Blackman and Bailey are accused of harboring a fugitive. SLED and Lexington County deputites found Griffin hiding in their mobile home in Lexington County.

Miller's bond hearing was Saturday. She faces multiple charges, including assault and battery with intent to kill, and aiding an escaped convict. Officers say she could face even more charges as the investigation continues. The judge set bond for Miller at $200,000.

Shawn Wiles and John Griffin Jr have escaped from the Ridgeland Correctional Institution together twice. Both men are now in a Richland County jail after their most recent escape on December 19th.

SLED and Lexington County sheriff's department captured John Griffin Jr around 6:00am Saturday. They found him hiding out in rural Lexington County. Griffin was originally serving time for burglary.

On Friday, Griffin's apparent partner in crime, Shawn Wiles, was captured after a standoff in downtown Saluda lasted more than three hours. He was serving a four year sentence for possession of a stolen vehicle.

Melissa Miller is a teen who says she fell in love with Wiles. The two met as kids and began dating six months ago, while Wiles was in jail. Miller says she hated being separated from the love of her life, "I just wanted to see him for a while, just to hold him for a little while that's all."

Miller says Wiles came to find her on Christmas Eve. Now locked behind bars, Miller says it was a mistake to go for a ride with him, "I know I shouldn't have left with him, I know, but I just had to see him."

The incident began after a high-speed chase, at times said to be up to speeds of 100mph, involving the Highway Patrol. The chase began when a trooper clocked a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed.

The officer attempted to pull over the car. The driver pulled over and as the officer got out of his cruiser, the driver then made a U-turn and drove north.

Miller says she and Wiles were headed to her house Friday afternoon when a trooper tried to pull them over, "He was speeding. I kept telling him to slow down. Next thing I know he started speeding faster, and I said Shawn why are you doing this."

Troopers say they called off the chase as Wiles approached downtown Saluda.

Eventually Wiles slammed the car into a squad car and a vacant building, "He didn't mean to hit that cop car. He tried to go around it. He was going too fast and couldn't stop."

Saluda Sheriff Jason Booth says a deputy blocked an intersection with his patrol car. Booth says a deputy drove his cruiser in front of another car. The deputy reportedly suffered minor injuries.

Police say the two barricaded themselves inside the vacant building for a stand off that lasted more than three hours.

Miller says Wiles urged her to turn herself in, "I ran out of the car because I was scared. I didn't know what to do. He told me before I got out of the car he doesn't want me to go through this for me to just turn myself in."

Police negotiated for several hours, but Miller didn't turn herself in until after nearly an hour into the stand off. She was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.

Police attempted to negotiate with Wiles to no avail. Booth says SLED sent in a 10 officer team, "The entry team went in and found the suspect on the roof of the building. He'd broken tiles and gained entry to the roof." No shots were fired and Wiles reportedly did not resist arrest.

Miller says, "I didn't mean to hurt anyone with what I did. I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I just want to go home. I want things to go back to normal the way they use to be."

Miller says she didn't know about her boyfriend's plan to break out of jail.
