11天的逃亡,自由生涯结束了,一位警察在Motel停车场发现了与逃犯相关的卡迪拉克,马上报警,招来15辆警车参加追捕。
警方说,看起来56岁的女警官是此事的主谋,38岁的出逃罪犯希望展开枪战,可是警察一枪未发,唯一一枪是逃亡女警官自己朝头打的,而且在被警车追捕途中,她还拨打了911.
在他们的车里发现假发,2万9千现金,几支武器,包括AK15,和三本杂志。如果不是被警车撞到沟里,很可能会发生枪战。在逃犯和三名警察轻伤。
警方说难以相信他们已经在小镇Motel住了6天,并且预付了14天的住宿费。警方初步判断,有人帮助他们租下旅店。

Several weapons, wigs and $29,000 were found as part of evidence connected to the inmate and former corrections officer
who were on the run from Alabama, an Indiana sheriff said Tuesday.
Among the weapons in the couple's possession were four handguns, an AR-15 and three magazines, Vanderburgh County Sheriff Dave Wedding said during a news conference.
Casey White and Vicky White also had her service belt in their possession.
Casey White had paid for a 14-day stay at the motel where a Cadillac associated with the couple was spotted, the sheriff said.
Wedding said the Cadillac was spotted by an Evansville police officer.
The officer “noticed the vehicle in the parking lot of the hotel and notified us immediately.”
After law enforcement set up surveillance, they eventually engaged in a pursuit and rammed the suspects’ car into a ditch, the sheriff said. Law enforcement said they believe Vicky White shot herself when the vehicle crashed.
“We later found out had they not done that, the fugitive was going to engage in a shootout with law enforcement,” Wedding said.
Wedding said it wasn’t until over the weekend that it looked like the pair had been in the area.
“Once again, after six days, it was just hard to believe they were here – I wouldn’t think somebody on the run would stay in a community like Evansville for six days,” he added.
Asked why the pair had stopped in Evansville for so long, the sheriff said, “They thought, you know, they had driven long enough, wanted to stop for a while, get their bearings straight, then figure out their next place to travel.”
Three officers suffered minor injuries during the pursuit, authorities said. Casey White was briefly hospitalized for injuries and later released, authorities said. He was booked into the county jail overnight.
