BATTLE CREEK, Mich. — Federal authorities say two inmates who escaped from a Virginia juvenile prison two weeks ago have been captured in Michigan.
The U.S. Marshals Service announced that a fugitive task force arrested Rashad E. Williams and Jabar Ali Taylor late Saturday afternoon at a hotel in Battle Creek, Michigan.
Virginia officials have said Taylor and Williams escaped from Bon Air Juvenile Correctional Center on July 13 through a hole that was cut in the perimeter fence.
A center worker was later charged with helping the inmates escape.
The marshals pursued leads in several states, and information showed the escapees had initially fled to Pennsylvania.
