Escaped Inmate Caught with Gun

By AP, Journal Sentinel Daywatch

Milwaukee police say they've caught a House of Corrections inmate who escaped from a van while traveling to a doctor's appointment.

House of Correction assistant superintendent Jeffrey Mayer says 23-year-old Martin Williams had been held there since May 8 on a charge of armed robbery with threat of force.

Mayer says Williams overpowered an officer while getting out of the van at a medical center Wednesday morning. He later shed his orange jail jumpsuit.

Police discovered Williams around 5 p.m. when he ran from a vehicle. He was caught after a brief foot chase.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports Williams had a gun on him when police found him.
