Escaped death row inmate captured in Louisiana

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051107/...rime_escape_dc



HOUSTON (Reuters) - A death row prisoner who escaped from the Harris County Jail in Houston on Thursday has been captured in Shreveport, Louisiana, police said on Sunday.

The circumstances of the capture were not yet known, a spokesman for the U.S. Marshal's Service in Houston said.

Charles Victor Thompson, 35, donned civilian clothes and pretended to be a law enforcement official to bluff his way out of the jail.

A massive manhunt was launched for Thompson, who on October 28 was sentenced to death by lethal injection for killing his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend in 1998.

He was being held in the Houston jail before being transferred to the state's death row in the east Texas town of Livingston when he escaped, police said.

I heard he was caught drunk in front of a liquor store. Is that true?
