A man who gave himself some yuletide cheer by escaping from the Liberty County (Texas) Jail early Christmas morning was re-captured last week in southeast Houston. Arthur Lavel Jones, 32, of Dayton, was apprehended about 10 a.m. by Harris County Constable deputies. He originally went to jail on charges of assaulting a police officer and evading arrest. A passerby flagged down an off-duty motorcycle deputy who was in uniform at Broadway near Lawndale, said Danny Perez, a spokesman for Precinct 6 Constable Victor Trevino. The passerby told the deputy that a man on the pay phone in the 8800 block of Lawndale was Jones. The deputy approached Jones and asked him for identification, Perez said. Jones claimed not to have identification on him and walked away from the officer. He then ran through a wooded area. The deputy chased him and called for back up. The Christmas Day escape was the second time this year inmates have fled the Liberty County Jail. At least five other jailbreaks have occurred at the Liberty County facility since it was privatized. |
