PHOENIX - A fugitive husband-and-wife team wanted for murder and arson have been captured in Arizona, police said on Thursday, nearly three weeks after the couple overpowered guards and escaped custody in Utah.
Blane Barksdale, 56, and Susan Barksdale, 59, had been on the run since Aug. 26, when they broke free from two guards who were taking them from upstate New York to Tucson, Arizona, to face murder charges over the killing of an elderly man and burning of his house last April. Responding to a tip that the two had an acquaintance in the area, police surrounded the residence located on an acre lot.
Officers Tasered him and shot the “bean bag” round at his leg to bring him into custody, Gonzales said, adding there were no injuries involved with the arrests.
