4 of 5 escaped Missouri inmates arrested in Ohio

Authorities say that four of the five people who escaped from a jail in Missouri have been caught in Ohio.

The U.S. Marshals Office says that on Tuesday night, Aaron Wade Sebastian, 30, Kelly McSean, 52, Lujuan Tucker, 37, Michael Wilkins, 42, and Dakota Pace, 26, got away from the St. Francois County Detention Center in Farmington.

Wilkins was taken into custody in Missouri soon after he escaped, the St. Francois County Sheriff’s Department said in a social media post.

Around 10 p.m. on Friday, the Ohio Highway State Patrol pulled Sebastian and McSean over for speeding in the Liberty Township, Ohio, area.

Pace ran away from the traffic stop, and when police checked the area near the 4000 block of Brook Hill Street in Liberty Township, they couldn’t find him.

Deputies from the Butler County Sheriff’s Office took Pace into custody just after 9 a.m. on Saturday, about a half mile from where everyone ran.

The Trenton Police Department sent the Sheriff’s Office drone footage of the moment Pace was caught.

At about 2:15 a.m. on Saturday morning, Tucker was also taken into custody in West Chester Township, Ohio, at the intersection of Union Centre Boulevard and Jacquemin Drive.

All four of them have been taken to the Butler County Jail and booked.
