Go to North Carolina and ask them? An escaped fugitive in the mountains of North Carolina and do you expect a suit and tie with a knock on the door? You watch to much T.V. Jack. Our police would be in full “tactical gear” on a situation like this. It’s funny tht you would make a comment like that, just about as funny when someone says, “armed officers arrest subject X”. We live in America, do you ever see officers NOT ARMED arresting someone? This isn’t England Jack.

I feel sorry for the dude. He had such a short time left to serve. I agree with Mary Lynn Mc…. Maybe tack on a year or two, and fine the fellow the cost of the manhunt. Justice need not be cruel.

@Jack…The story says they were apprehended at a hotel in a remote area in the Smokey Mountains. Maybe they were hiding out in the woods as they prepared to move in. Just a thought.

She has 6 kids and a husband? Was she mentally abused or voluntarily went? Maybe he threatened her.

Once again the bleeding hearts come out with their rationalizations why these criminals should get leniency. From the moment he made the decision to bolt all of you bleeding hearts were on his mind as he fled and eluded. Yea keep thinking that…while you’re asking why they are raping your daughters or robbing you blind…

I feel for her six kids that have to go to school today after many parents see this! How could she do this to them. Her husband is going for full custody, good for him!

He just couldn’t hold on for just a few more months to be free and be with his lady friend so they both went stupid. I guess somewhere during his imprisonment he applied for work release and convinced the right peoples he was a good candidate to do the right thing and got it but could not live up to it. Now he will get about 15 years added on and never again be a candidate for work release and she will most likely have to do some time as well and still not be together. Was this short time on the run together worth it and was there enough passion between them to justify the time they will be apart after the fact. It’s astonishing what measures people will go through just to be together. If you are not prepared to do the time then do not do the crime.

Glad he was caught but I disagree with Mick. Some ppl do the right thing once they a locked up n that’s why they get work release its a chance for them to get back in transition to the free world. Some abuse it 80% don’t. These ppl have families. You don’t know what happen to get them locked away. So think before you judge you might have a family member or child one day get locked up and you’ll sing a different tune.

While everyone is blasting this guy for running, you might want to ask yourself why? I work as an advocate for inmates and hear these stories all the time. Guys with little time left will “bug out.” The FDOC needs to figure out why inmates are doing this. This is a psych situation and they are obviously not getting the support they need.
