WHITERIVER, Ariz. (AP) — Five inmates who escaped from a tribal
jail in northern Arizona have been recaptured with one man still
at large, authorities said Sunday.
Officials with the White Mountain Apache Tribe said six inmates
escaped from the detention center around 8 p.m. Saturday.
They said three were back in custody by 10:30 p.m. and two more
were recaptured Sunday morning.
Police didn’t immediately release any information on how the men
escaped, if they all worked to escape together and where they
were recaptured.
Police also didn’t disclose how long each of the men had been in
jail and for what offense.
Police said family and friends of the remaining escapee were
being contacted Sunday.
Whiteriver is located about 135 miles (217 kilometers) southeast
of Flagstaff.
