FARMINGTON, Maine — Justin Ross, who escaped from a work-release program earlier this week, was captured Thursday afternoon.
Department of Corrections spokeswoman Judy Plummer said in a news release that the suspect was apprehended at 3:30 p.m. thanks to an effort from state police, the Department of Corrections and local law enforcement.
Ross, 35, of Farmington had been serving a sentence for domestic violence assault at the Central Maine Pre-Release Center in Hallowell.
That facility houses prisoners with 15 months or less on their sentences. Ross was due to be released on Oct. 29.
Ross had escaped from a work-release site in Leeds on Tuesday.
ok when where how?? crappy news article !!
ok how? where? terrible story that said just about nothing..
It’d be nice to hear HOW he got captured.
Me thinks there should be a tad bit more information in the story.
Sorry, I get it now this story is just the grabber the rest of the story will be at a future date, when the news is really, really slow.
Had less then two months… now looking at 5 years… He is either really, really dumb or he likes doin’ time.
