Missouri state troopers captured escaped Tennessee prisoner Jacob Morley near Norborne on Tuesday, ending more than a week on the run, authorities said.
Illinois investigators said Morley stole a farm pickup truck reported missing Tuesday morning near Marion before traveling to Missouri.
Missouri authorities said automated license plate cameras helped officers locate Morley’s vehicle in the Kansas City area.
A police helicopter followed his vehicle until it went off the road and became stuck, allowing a trooper to arrest him without incident, officials said.
Morley’s destination remains unclear, and investigators said more information would be released as it becomes available.
