2 escapees surrender

Posted on Apr 26 2000

It was like a scene from a movie. Convicted felons Jesse James Camacho, 20, and Kurt M. Taisacan, 22, simply walked in to the Department of Public Safety and surrendered themselves apparently afraid of the consequences of their escape after they were tagged as armed and dangerous.

“We came back because we read in the papers that we were armed and dangerous,” said Mr. Camacho.

A police officer who was approached by the two men was surprised to see Mr. Camacho and Mr. Taisacan who greeted him as they walked in to the DPS building.

“Welcome back!” was all the officer could say.
The police officer led the two to the Criminal Investigation Division where they’re still being investigated as of press time.

Police and fire officers who have been mobilized to help put off the fire in the main corrections facility, were shocked to see the two convicts.
