Teen escapee caught at the mall
The teen inmate who escaped from custody at the Ivy rest area March 26 was apprehended on his 17th birthday– March 28– at Fashion Square Mall. The youth, who had been on his way to a behavioral treatment center in Missouri when he bolted from the bathroom on I-64, was picked up in the men's department at Belk. "He was located while we were investigating a shoplifting report," says Lieutenant Todd Hopwood with Albemarle police.

Why did the kid escape?...There's a problem between him and the center. He should understand that he's not fully recovered. Maybe he wants something that the center can't give.

I was at a meeting yesterday, and this was the joke of the day. A mall security guard did what the real cops couldn't.
Kid must have been a slow runner if mall security caught him. lol
