Escaped Leavenworth County Inmate Recaptured

LEAVENWORTH, Kan. (AP) – An inmate who escaped from the Leavenworth County Jail during the weekend is back in custody.

Leavenworth County Undersheriff Ron Cranor said 29-year-old Raheem Keron Armstead was recaptured Monday morning. Details of the arrest were not immediately available.

Armstead escaped Saturday afternoon while taking trash to an outside trash bin.

A police advisory said Armstead has a history of fighting with and eluding police. He was convicted in 2008 of robbery and aggravated burglary.
