2nd of 3 Indiana prison escapees captured

AP- July 21, 2009

ROCKPORT, Ind. — The second of three escapees from the Indiana State Prison was captured early today at his parents’ home in southern Indiana after more than a week on the run, authorities said.

Convicted rapist Lance Battreal was arrested about 1 a.m. in the Ohio River town of Rockport — some 250 miles south of the maximum-security prison in Michigan City, state Department of Correction spokesman Doug Garrison said.

The 45-year-old Battreal was asleep when federal marshals and police officers arrived and was taken into custody without incident, Garrison said.

Battreal escaped July 12 along with convicted murderers Charles Smith and Mark Booher, both of New Castle. Smith, 48, was captured the following day outside Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley’s vacation home in Grand Beach, Mich., about 8 miles from the prison.

Booher, 46, remained at large today, Garrison said.
