Fugitive Escapes During Transport

The press was critical of bondsmen in a headline reading “Bounty Hunt Costs Taxpayers.” The story focuses on the escape of a fugitive who was traveling from Utah to Ohio when he escaped in Iowa. According to the article, he was escorted by two bondsmen and escaped at a convenience store. Several law enforcement agencies were called to assist in recapturing the fugitive. He was found walking in a ravine a few hours later.

My guess is the local taxpayers would rather have law enforcement assist in finding this out-of-state fugitive, rather than having a desperate run-away fugitive lurking around their city.
