2 jail escapees captured;2 still remain at large
YAKIMA, Wash. -- Two jail escapees were captured Saturday after an anonymous tip led police to the attic of a relative's home, but two others were still at large after nine inmates broke out of a maximum security area of the Yakima County Jail. The men broke through the ceiling of the four-story jail and used a rope made of bed sheets to climb down Friday evening, authorities said. Five were recaptured on the jail grounds, but four others got away. On Saturday morning, officers got a tip that led them to a Yakima home where a sister of escapee Santos Luera lives, Police Chief Sam Granato. The officers searched the house and found both missing inmates in the attic. One of the two inmates still at large Saturday afternoon had been spotted Friday evening but escaped on foot before officers arrived, Granato said.
Cops: Teen who hit cyclistwas text-messaging in car
HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. -- A 17-year-old likely will face misdemeanor charges after, police say, he lost control of his car while text messaging and hit a bicyclist. The bicyclist, Jim R. Price of Highlands Ranch, died Friday, two days after the accident. "We do not believe it was an intentional act, but it was inattentiveness to the roadway," said Lt. Alan Stanton, spokesman for Douglas County Sheriff's Office. "The investigation showed that he was text-messaging on his cell phone" at the time of the accident, said Stanton. The driver could face a charge of careless driving resulting in death, Stanton said. Under Colorado law, the teen could face up to a year in prison.
In love as teens, couplemarks 70th anniversary
BOISE, Idaho -- When 19-year-old Ron Ramey fell in love with 14-year-old Marcella, doubters said it would never last -- they were just too far apart in age. But the young couple didn't listen, spiriting away to get married in secret. On Saturday, the Rameys celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary. He's 90 and she's 85, both in good health. And the romance that began so long ago is far from losing its luster. "I still love him so much," Marcella said. "When we go to bed at night, we always hold hands. 'I love you' are the last words we say to each other." For all but those first 14 years of her life, Marcella said, they've never been apart. Now they live in Boise, close to their children.
