Missouri jail escapees recaptured following multi-day manhunt

Five inmates who escaped from a Missouri jail early last week were recaptured by Saturday, authorities said.

The St. Francois County sheriff’s office said escaped inmates Kelly McSean, Dakota Pace, Aaron Sebastian and LuJuan Tucker were arrested in Ohio hours after fellow escapee Michael Wilkins was arrested Friday in southern Missouri.

Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers said they tried to pull over a car they suspected was stolen around 9:30 p.m. Friday in Fairfield Township, just north of Cincinnati.

McSean, Pace, Sebastian and Tucker attempted to flee in the car but eventually got out and ran.
