Arizona Fugitives Captured

After nearly three weeks on the run, escaped convict John McCluskey and his fiancee, Casslyn Welch, were captured Aug. 19, 2010, at an Arizona campground after a forest ranger spotted the couple along with the vehicle they allegedly stole.

McCluskey, 45, and Welch, 44, who is also the inmate's cousin, were taken into custody by several officers at about 7:15 p.m. at a campsite at the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest in northeastern Arizona. Welch at first wielded a weapon, but dropped it when she saw she was outgunned by a SWAT team, said David Gonzales, U.S. marshal for Arizona.

McCluskey was among three prisoners who escaped on July 30, 2010 from a privately operated state prison in Kingman. Arizona Corrections Department officials have said that Welch helped McCluskey and inmates Tracy Province and Daniel Renwick escape July 30 from a private prison facility near Kingman by cutting through a security fence, setting off a massive multistate search.

Renwick and Province were serving time for murder. McCluskey was serving a 15-year prison term for attempted second-degree murder, aggravated assault and discharge of a firearm. Renwick was captured in Rifle, Colo., on Aug. 1, and Province was found in Meeteetse, Wyo., on Aug. 9.
