GALVESTON, Texas — An inmate who escaped from a minimum-security prison in Kentucky has been caught in Texas after nearly five months on the run.
The Galveston County Sheriff’s Office says Kelly Craig Conway, of Des Moines, Iowa, was captured Tuesday coming out of a house in Galveston.
The 46-year-old Conway fled April 7 from the Blackburn Correctional Complex in Lexington, Kentucky. Conway was serving a 17 year sentence for a robbery conviction when he walked away from the lockup.
Investigators say Kentucky State Police earlier this month traced a phone call, made by Conway, to Galveston.
