CRYSTAL CITY, Texas — Two inmates escaped from their cells in the Crystal City Correctional Facility early Sunday morning.
Raymond Ruiz broke out of his cell and took possession of a jail employee’s car. He then let police on a high-speed chase to Catarina, Texas.
After officers blew out his tires, Ruiz fled into the surrounding brush. Around 4 a.m., the suspect was located by a DPS chopper, still wearing his inmates’ uniform. He was arrested by officers on the ground. Another inmate, Juan Diego Cordova, was caught inside the correctional facility lobby.
