ALFRED, Maine (AP) — Police say the burglary suspect who escaped from a New Hampshire jail had vowed revenge against his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend in Maine.
David Glenn Hobson was captured Tuesday evening near a Market Basket grocery store in Rochester, N.H., near the Maine border.
Authorities held a news conference in Alfred, Maine, where the 34-year-old Hobson was from. U.S. Marshal David Cargill of New Hampshire said Hobson had text-messaged a threat to his girlfriend. He said the woman was moved to a safe location.
Authorities say Hobson had escaped from the county jail in Ossipee, N.H., on Dec. 1 by jumping off a roof and scaling a razor-wire fence in the recreation yard. He was awaiting trial on a burglary charge.
