Arthur Buckel was captured this month. But other prisoners who’ve escaped from Jersey prisons over the years are still out there — and some may never be caught as long as they live.
Former escapee Arthur Buckel is back behind bars after being captured on Monday in Ocean County, but the manhunt that tracked him down also caused some trouble for four other New Jersey residents.
Prison escapee Arthur Buckel reportedly has been apprehended, according to an alert from the Ocean County Sheriff's Office, supplemented by information from county Prosecutor Joseph Coronato's office.
Lacey Police said Arthur Buckel — who escaped from a work detail at the Ancora Hospital of Bayshore State Prison last Tuesday — failed to meet police as planed at a Parkway rest stop.
Rain-soaked investigators continue the manhunt for Arthur Buckel, the inmate who fled South Jersey's Ancora minimum-security lockup Tuesday and was traced to Barnegat today, triggering school lockdowns and shelter-in-place warnings there and in neighboring Ocean Township.
