White supremacist group leader, 2nd escapee from Arkansas jail both recapturedby Stephen Simpson, Clara Turnage | Today at 7:09 a.m.
Two Jefferson County jail escapees were arrested Thursday after a Dover Marshals chief recognized one walking down the street and the other surrendered to officers after becoming dehydrated, officials said.
Chief David Dalrymple said he was driving around the Pope County town just before lunchtime Thursday when he passed a man he recognized as Wesley Gullett.
...
Gullett, 30, of Plainview and Christopher Sanderson, 34, of Jacksonville escaped this week from a pod in the Jefferson County jail that is used to hold federal inmates.
"I had a picture on my phone. And I looked at it and thought, 'Yeah, that's him,'" Dalrymple said.
Dalrymple said he turned his car around, stepped out of his vehicle with his gun raised and arrested Gullett, who had escaped from a county prison about 130 miles away.
Dalrymple said the arrest went smoothly, and Gullett is in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
Not only is the article time-stamped before DU-twit

backtoblue also called the facility from which the guys escaped a "prison", when it is actually a jail. A local would know this and most likely would say "jail", the correct term.
All in all, this
is a pathetic lie. And none of the DU-folk who responded bothered to fact-check the

ETA: My
Google-Fu is pretty decent, but a white-belt could have found what I did. I searched "jail escape white supremacist". Seeing he had been caught, I clicked a USA Today article, which was the first link. Seeing it linked an Arkansas Democrat-Gazette article, I went there. Then I looked at the time stamp and the description of when the dude was caught. A 12YO kid could do it, and probably in half the time.
