Prison Escapees Caught in Hornell

Two convicted murderers who escaped from an Arkansas prison wearing guard uniforms made at the facility were captured this afternoon after being stopped for speeding near Hornell, New York.

A prisons spokeswoman says 39-year-old Calvin Adams and 32-year-old Jeffrey Grinder were in the same car that had been left for them at the prison Friday night.

A New York State Trooper tried to stop the car for speeding. The car sped away, but crashed, then Adams and Grinder tried fleeing on foot before being caught by police.

Hornell is about 70 miles east of Bradford.

Both men were serving life sentences without the possibility of parole at the prison about 60 miles southeast of Little Rock.
