OKLAHOMA CITY (KOCO) — An Oklahoma Department of Corrections fugitive was captured, and another person was arrested Thursday morning at an Oklahoma City motel.
Around 1:30 a.m. Thursday, law enforcement arrested the escaped fugitive and a woman at a Super 8 Motel near Southeast 44th Street and Interstate 35 in Oklahoma City.
Police told KOCO 5 that they were helping the ODOC arrest a fugitive who reportedly rented a U-Haul van during their escape. Authorities later found the van parked in the motel’s parking lot.
The Oklahoma Department of Corrections identified the fugitive as Kyle Vacin, who is serving a seven-year sentence for eluding a police officer out of Tulsa County. He had walked away from the Dick Conner Correctional Center in Hominy.
