All 9 juveniles who escaped from detention center after riot in Pennsylvania captured



Nine inmates escaped from a detention center in Pennsylvania following a riot Sunday, but all have since been apprehended. The brevity of the manhunt — which comes just weeks after a murderous illegal alien broke out of a Pennsylvania prison — was the result not only of a quick response on the part of law enforcement but also some of the escapees' apparent lack of fortitude.

"It probably was planned, but poorly planned," said Pennsylvania State Police Trooper David Beohm, reported the Associated Press.

The motley crew, ages ranging between 15 and 17, made their escape from Abraxas Academy, a youth detention center in Morgantown that deals with delinquents known for their "habitual offending behaviors or for a history of sexual offending behavior," according to its website.

A riot erupted at the facility Sunday, affording some inmates a distraction that they immediately seized upon.

The Caernarvon Township Police Department noted at 9:27 p.m. that state and local law enforcement had restored order at the academy; however, the facility was then short nine inmates.

Authorities indicated that the inmates had broken free after overtaking two female guards and stealing their keys, reported ABC News.

"They were able to get the keys and then they were able to get out the side door, or one of the doors," said Beohm.

The Robeson Township Police Department issued an alert Sunday evening, notifying anyone in the area of Interstate 176 and Route 10 to "be vigilant," adding that the escapees were all wearing white and grey shirts and shorts.

Boehm said that four rogues were taken into custody just before 6 a.m. on Monday after having "basically given up."

"They were done, they were tired, they were cold," said the trooper.

Unable to hack the cold and lack of sleep, the first group of escapees knocked on the door of a random home on Oak Grove Road in Morgantown and surrendered.

The remaining five who had not been so quickly defeated by the prospect of discomfort took off in a stolen truck.

Police indicated that at least two cars had been broken into.

Troopers chased the truck down and bagged four of the inmates. The fifth managed to flee into a nearby field on foot, but he too was hunted down and captured alive.

All nine were picked up within four miles of Abraxas Academy.

Beohm indicated that all nine, who came in "pretty weary looking and dirty," will be charged with escape. Additional charges may also be applied where applicable.

"We're going to interview all nine of them," said Beohm. "I know there's stuff in the works right now to decide where they are going to go after that takes place."

Abraxas Academy is no stranger to riots or the expressions of concern by locals.

A riot broke out at the facility involving 50 teenagers on July 4, reported CNN.

"We’re concerned. We’re concerned that this institution which houses our most serious juvenile offenders who’ve been accused of a crime or convicted of a crime – they have to be able to maintain control," said Berks County District Attorney John Adams.

Ex-con escapes after attacking deputy, who was placed on life support and won't recover. But manhunt ends after homeowner shoots ex-con.



Clinton Robert Hurley was released from an Arizona prison in December after serving time for attempted child molestation, Maricopa County Sheriff Paul Penzone told the Associated Press.

Court records indicate Hurley served 10 years, KPNX-TV reported.

Then around 11 a.m. Saturday, Hurley allegedly attacked a deputy who was processing him on multiple felony warrants at a substation in Avondale, authorities told the AP. Avondale is about 18 miles west of Phoenix, the outlet added.

Hurley took the deputy's SUV, crashed through a fence, and fled the area before allegedly stealing another vehicle and driving to Tonopah, authorities told the AP. Tonopah is about 52 miles west of Phoenix, the AP said.

What happened to the deputy?

The deputy — a three-year veteran — was found unconscious and bleeding from the face and rushed to a hospital, sheriff's officials told the outlet, adding that the deputy was placed on life support.

But Sheriff Penzone said Deputy Juan "Johnny" Ruiz never regained consciousness and will not recover from his injuries, KTVK-TV reported. The sheriff added to the station that Ruiz's family has decided to donate his organs and that Ruiz is undergoing testing to determine viability.

"Over the next few days, he will be making a sacrifice so that others may benefit," Penzone said Monday morning, KTVK added.

What did the suspect do next?

The manhunt for Hurley ended Saturday night after a Tonopah homeowner shot Hurley, who was then hospitalized in critical condition, the AP said.

Officials said Hurley was shot around 6:30 p.m. when he tried to enter a home near Buckeye and Wintersburg roads, KPNX-TV said.

Penzone said at a news conference Saturday night that Hurley and the unidentified homeowner had a history of conflict, the AP said. Penzone added that gunfire was exchanged between them, KPNX reported.

Tactical units found Hurley with a gunshot wound and took him into custody, KNXV-TV reported.

"It is with a sense of relief that I express to you I am glad to know he is off our streets," Penzone said, according to KKTV-TV.

The AP said it wasn't immediately known if Hurley had a lawyer who could speak on his behalf.

13-year-old girl killed when carjacker drags her for miles as she tried to escape family vehicle



A 13-year-old girl in Wichita, Kansas, was killed over the weekend, after she tried to escape from her family's vehicle while a suspect was stealing it and the youngster got caught in her seat belt.

Brianna Ibarra was dragged for miles behind the vehicle driven by the alleged carjacker, and did not survive.

What are the details?

Authorities say that Brianna was waiting inside her family's SUV parked outside a restaurant Saturday while other family members went inside to pick up the food. That's when Kevin Palmer, 34, hopped in the driver's seat to steal the vehicle and took off.

Brianna tried to get away by jumping out as the vehicle was moving, according to a witness, who dialed 911 and followed the vehicle, The Daily Mail reported.

According to local outlet KAKE-TV, "Wichita Police received several calls from motorists that a woman was being dragged by a vehicle along Kellogg for several miles."

Law enforcement finally caught up with vehicle and Palmer pulled over. The suspect tried to flee, but he was apprehended by officers. Brianna was pronounced dead at the scene, and Palmer has been charged with felony murder.

Wichita Police Chief Gordon Ramsay said of the incident, "This is one of the saddest cases I have been associated with in my over 28 years of law enforcement."

What did the family say?

Brianna's heartbroken family described her as "full of life," and "a beautiful soul." Her parents told KAKE that the "loss of (our) daughter was a tragedy that no family should have to go through."

The girl's older sister, Marissa, described Brianna as someone who "loved to create," was "easy and fun to be around. She was bright, carefree, straightforward, family oriented, strong, would do anything for (her) family, affectionate."

A GoFundMe page has been set up by a family friend to help cover funeral costs "and any expenses needed until this family can get back on their feet and back to work." As of this writing, it has raised more than $17,500 of its $50,000 goal.
