Oklahoma Escapee Nabbed In Southwest Missouri


Authorities in Missouri say an escapee from the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester has been recaptured near Joplin.

Newton County Sheriff Ken Copeland says 27-year-old Alvin Boyer was found hiding in the attic of a home Monday afternoon on the south side of Joplin.

Boyer was serving a nearly eight year prison sentence for drug and weapons convictions.

He escaped from the Jackie Brannon Correctional Center on Oct. 26.
