A murderer who escaped while being transferred from a halfway house to Pa. prison has been arrested. Gerald Adams, 39, also known as Gerald Small, was serving 10- to 20-year sentence for third-degree murder in the August 1987 shooting death of an unarmed security guard. He was arrested last Sunday night at a Pittsburgh home after authorities received a tip that he was there. Adams escaped while corrections officers were moving him from a Pittsburgh halfway house in which participants work during the day and return to the facility in the evening, authorities said. He failed an alcohol test and was to be taken back to the State Correctional Institution in Pittsburgh, authorities said. Adams struggled with officers and managed to get away. Adams was one of four men arrested in the 1987 death of Curtis Jackson, 25, of Sewickley, during a robbery of a 7-11 store in Pittsburgh. Adams pleaded guilty. |
