PADUCAH, Ky. (AP) -- Kentucky State Police report that two
fugitives from a western Kentucky work farm have been captured in
Georgia.
Police said James Whisman and Jesse Sebastian were arrested by
the Georgia State Patrol on Friday in central Georgia's Lamar
County.
The men escaped from the Western Kentucky Correctional Complex
in Fredonia on Aug. 18.
WPSD-TV in Paducah reported that Principal Glen Ringstaff
reviewed surveillance video from the Caldwell County School Campus
in Princeton and found the men had twice broken into the school
building.
When Ringstaff documented two intruders late at night, he called
the Kentucky Department of Corrections and officers identified them
as Whisman and Sebastian.
