"Escaped Ariz. inmate, girlfriend did not resist arrest at campsite; Tip from ranger ended couple’s 3 weeks on run" by Felicia Fonseca and Jonathan J. Cooper, Associated Press | August 21, 2010
ST. JOHNS, Ariz. — Over the past three weeks, an escaped Arizona prisoner and his girlfriend bedeviled the hundreds of law enforcement officers hunting them across the desolate highways and thick forests of the West....
Until Thursday, when an alert forest ranger’s tip led police right to them....
As the nation kept a lookout for them and law enforcers put up alerts at campgrounds and truck stops, the couple somehow slipped back into Arizona....
Were you keeping a lookout?
And they somehow slipped back through the net?
A SWAT team descended on the campsite at dusk....
Must have looked and sounded like a home raid in Iraq or Afghanistan.
The escape cast a critical spotlight on Arizona’s prison system. A report on Thursday found a series of breakdowns that allowed the inmates to slip away into the desert, including an alarm system that went off so often that prison personnel often just ignored them.
Police yesterday were still trying to piece together details about the couple’s time on the lam....
I'm on the edge of my seat waiting.
Investigators looked into 700 tips from nearly every state in a manhunt that had officers swarming into small towns from Montana to Arkansas.
That government and MSM compass was all over the place, huh?
