On Sunday April 24, 2004 James Paul Hoagland age 26 of Cleveland escaped from the Liberty County (Texas) Jail. He was on a work detail in the kitchen at the new jail facility on Beaumont Ave. The escape occurred between 7:50a.m and 8:00a.m and Hoagland was recaptured at 3:45p.m. in the southern edge of San Jacinto County.
Sheriff Arthur said all the details on how Hoagland was able to escape from the facility are still under investigation. It is believed that Hoagland got out thru a delivery door in the back, scaled the fence and made it thru the razor wire. He traveled south across the railroad track and Hwy. 90 and then west thru the woods to the river where he stole a truck from Chapman Mobile Homes. He left the truck at a residence on SH 146 north of Snake River and caught a ride to San Jacinto County.
Pct. 6 Constable Royce Wheeler, Deputy Constable Mulkey and Sheriff's Office Investigator Ashworth located and arrested Hoagland on Wonderland Drive in the south part of San Jacinto County. Hoagland was transported back to the Liberty County Jail by Sheriff Arthur, Ranger Huff and Constable Fairchild.
Sheriff Arthur said we were able to get Hoagland quickly because we had a lot of officers and departments working together.
