Death Row Escapee Caught While Drunk, Talking On Pay Phone

A convicted double-murderer who spent three days on the run after slipping away from a Houston jail was recaptured some 200 miles away — drunk and talking on a pay phone. This is pretty much how I expect these things to play out.

What's more impressive is how he managed to sneak a set of civilian clothes from the court house into his jail cell and then get past four jail employees without being discovered before making his escape. Some suspect he had help: "He's not the sharpest pencil in the box" said the sister of one of his victims.
