Fade had already escaped from prison.

In 2013, he took four prison guards hostage before using dynamite to escape from prison and escape by the car that was waiting for him outside.

He was on the run for six weeks before the police arrested him in a hotel with an accomplice.

Faid spent more than 10 years in prison and was released early in 2009 after persuading his parole officers that he had changed. His fame increased after participating in several television shows and writing books telling about his past.
