WARREN CO., Pa. (EYT) – Prison escapee Michael Burham was taken into custody in Warren County late Saturday afternoon.
According to a published article on Erie News Now, State Police Troopers received a call shortly before 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 15, from residents on Jackson Run Road, in Conewango Township, Warren County, regarding a suspicious individual.
According to investigators, they tracked 34-year-old Burham in the woods.
As Burham approached Logan Road, he encountered troopers along the perimeter. Burham reportedly attempted to hide, but he was approached from behind, and U.S. Marshals, Border Patrol, and troopers took him into custody.
He is currently at the Warren-based State Police station waiting to be processed.
According to Erie News Now, State Police are making a decision on where Burham will be taken; however, it will not be the Warren County Jail.
Burham escaped from the Warren County Jail in the late hours of Thursday, July 6. He reportedly climbed out of the top of the recreation yard at the jail, went across the roof of the courthouse, and used bed sheets tied together to climb down to the ground.
In a press conference on Sunday, July 9, at the Youngsville Fire Hall, State Police Lieutenant Colonel George Bivens stated that “stockpiles and small campsites” were found during the search. It was noted that Burham is a “self-taught survivalist” with military training.
State Police in Warren say this incident remains “a very fluid situation and active investigation.”
