The Nation : Copter Escapees Seized

Four fugitives who vowed they would never be taken alive after a bold helicopter escape from a South Carolina prison were surrounded when sleeping in a stolen car at a Georgia rest stop by three cruisers of police officers and recaptured, Camden County Sheriff’s Sgt. Charlie Easterling said. The fugitives surrendered peacefully. The three convicts and a woman who allegedly hijacked a helicopter Thursday to help them break out of the Perry Correctional Institution near Pelzer, S. C., were turned over to federal authorities.
