ALFRED, Maine — Police say the burglary suspect who escaped from a New Hampshire jail and was on the lam for five days had vowed revenge against his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend in Maine.
David Glenn Hobson was captured Tuesday evening near a grocery store in Rochester, N.H., near the Maine border.
U.S. Marshal David Cargill said Wednesday at a news conference in Alfred, Maine, that Hobson had threatened his girlfriend through a text message. Cargill says the woman was taken to a safe location.
Authorities say Hobson escaped from the county jail in Ossipee, N.H., on Dec. 1 by jumping off a roof and scaling a razor-wire fence in the recreation yard. He was awaiting trial on a burglary charge.
Hobson is in custody, and his family has declined to comment.
