Prison Escapee Recaptured Outside City

29 year old Micheal Garnett, who escaped from the Westmorland Institution at Dorchester earlier this week, is back behind bars.

He was captured last night around 8:30 behind the airport on Clover Valley Road. 

Garnett was seen walking down the road. A call was placed to the RCMP who came down from Salt Springs. CHSJ News has been told the homeowners along the road were keeping an eye on his whereabouts in the meantime.

Garnett walked down a dead end and shortly after he came back up to the road, the Mounties were there to take him down without any trouble.

He was serving a 2 and a half year sentence for various charges, including assault, theft, trespassing, and break and enter.
