Video aids recapture of MMA fighter suspected in killings
DALLAS (AP) — An MMA fighter suspected in two murders who escaped from a prison van near Houston was recaptured less than a mile away still wearing his jail-issued orange jumpsuit in part thanks to a local company's surveillance video, police said Monday.
Cedric Joseph Marks escaped from the van Sunday morning when guards with the Texas Prisoner Transportation Service stopped at a McDonald's in Conroe, about 40 miles (65 kilometers) north of Houston. Two guards in the van were transporting 10 prisoners, the Conroe Police Department said in a statement.
Police and the company have not commented on why the van stopped at the fast-food restaurant or how Marks escaped.
