OK-Fugitive Escapes During Transport

The Gallup Independent reports that two fugitive recovery agents were transporting Richard Youtsey back to Oklahoma after he failed to appear on charges of false personation, felony larceny and DWI. Youtsey was captured in California and was in the process of being transported back to Greer County, OK. The agents stopped at a casino to allow Youtsey a restroom break, according to the report. The agents removed the prisoner’s handcuffs and Youtsey managed to escape. An Oklahoma multi-agency manhunt began including use of tracking dogs and helicopters. Area schools were on partial lockdown. The search was called off without results late Friday.

Youtsey’s bond was set at $200,000 after he failed to appear last month in Greer County. Youtsey is described as between 5 feet 9 inches and 5 feet 11 inches and weighs between 140 and 160 pounds. He has hazel eyes and brown hair. He was last seen wearing blue jeans, a white shirt, gray hooded sweat top, a white Route 66 baseball cap and may be wearing tennis shoes. State police report that Youstey has tattoos on his hands and arms.
