A 74-year-old man who escaped from a Texas prison more than four decades ago was arrested in Mississippi over the weekend and returned to prison Monday. Robert Carroll Coney was sentenced to life in prison for robbery by assault and forgery in 1962. He escaped later that year. Officials said Coney spent time in other states' prisons and a federal lockup in Kansas in 1976. But he always managed to avoid being sent back to Texas, either by being transferred to other states or other jails. Coney was arrested over the weekend in Sunflower County, Miss. 'It just proves, 'You can run, but you can't hide,'' said John Moriarty, inspector general of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. |
