MARTINSBURG, W.Va. (AP) — A Virginia suspect who escaped while being taken to a jail in Pennsylvania has been captured in West Virginia.
The Martinsburg Police Department says officers took 30-year-old Jeffrey William Moore into custody without incident Sunday evening at a residence. Police went to the residence after receiving an anonymous tip.
The Herald-Mail (http://bit.ly/1vGWuJ5 ) reports that the police department announced Moore’s capture Sunday night.
Moore is wanted on an outstanding warrant from Virginia. Police in Waynesboro, Pa., took Martin into custody last week after officers encountered him in Memorial Park.
Martinsburg police say Moore escaped from a transport vehicle while being taken to the Franklin County Jail in Pennsylvania.
Moore is being held in the Eastern Regional Jail in Martinsburg.
