Eight days after leaving a work release job site in Egg Harbor, N.J., a 26-year-old fugitive was arrested at a Camden residence Tuesday morning.

Samuel Jackson, of Camden, had been serving at the Kintock halfway house in Bridgeton.

Members of the New Jersey Department of Corrections' Special Investigations Division apprehended Jackson and took him into custody at about 7 a.m. Tuesday, assisted by the Fugitive Unit of the New Jersey State Police and the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office.

Jackson, now being held at Riverfront State Prison in Camden, was sentenced to a maximum sentence of five years for receiving stolen property and up to four years on unlawful possession of handguns.

Jackson would have been eligible for parole in February 2005, but now faces additional charges relating to his escape.
