Authorities have now captured all three federal prisoners who escaped from a private jail in downtown Beaumont, Texas, police said. Todd Christian, 26, was captured about 10:30 p.m. Monday after he knocked on the door of a home in Beaumont's South Park section and asked to use the telephone. Beaumont Officer Crystal Holmes, police spokeswoman, told Beaumont television station KFDM that the homeowners managed to stall Christian until police arrived. Arzell Gully, 34, was nabbed by police at the Port of Beaumont seven minutes after the escape Sunday night. The second inmate caught, David Jackson, 45, was arrested Monday morning near a hospital in Beaumont after he was spotted by hospital security guards, Holmes said. Jackson gave police a false name but was taken into custody and later identified by the warden, Holmes said. The inmates at Correctional Services Corp.'s jail used pepper spray and a shank to overpower the officers, she said. All three men were federal inmates awaiting trial who were involved in the killing of another prisoner in 1999. Holmes said she did not have details about the killing and whether the inmates had been convicted of other crimes. |
