Two inmates who escaped from an Arizona prison over the weekend have been taken into custody Thursday, police say.
John Charpiot and David Harmon were captured and arrested this morning by Coolidge Police and U.S. Marshals officers following multiple calls from local residents, including from two who said they "had a view of who they believed were the outstanding prison fugitives," according to the Coolidge Police Department.
"They are in custody, awaiting transport back to the Department of Corrections," the department said in a statement. "Thank you to all citizens who helped in the capture of these fugitives."
