ALFRED, Maine — Glenn Hobson, the 55-year-old father of a prison inmate who escaped from the Carroll County House of Corrections in Ossipee, N.H. Thursday, was arrested Friday night after police found a stash of supplies that were thought to aid the man on the run.

According to a press release from the Maine Department of Public Safety, the elder Hobson was arrested at his Mountain Road home around 10:30 p.m. when troopers found medical supplies, food, water, clothing and blankets outside his home. He was charged with hindering apprehension and refusing to submit to arrest and was taken to York County Jail.

Hobson's son, 33-year-old David Hobson has been on the run and unseen since escaping from the New Hampshire prison on Thursday evening. Hobson, who was awaiting trial for a burglary charge, is said to have escaped the correctional facility by climbing a razor-wire fence.

Though no one has reportedly seen Hobson since his escape, authorities think he may be connected to two vehicular robberies that have happened in the surrounding region — a black 2004 Toyota Highlander stolen in Wakefield, N.H. on Thursday evening, and a blue 2004 Honda Accord stolen from Sanford overnight Thursday.
