www.privateofficer.com – Authorities on the hunt for a woman who prison officials said jumped the fence of a state prison in 1975 and made a new life for herself in Tennessee was captured over the week-end by federal agents .
According to agents of the U.S. Marshal’s service, police acting on tips, found 57-year-old Rebecca Hatcher in the small rural Tennessee community and were able to take her into custody without any problems.
Hatcher escaped from the Scott Correctional Facility in Plymouth. Mich., in 1975, just eight months after she was sentenced to one to 15 years for assault with intent to commit unarmed robbery.
Authorities say Hatcher settled in Camden, Tenn., got married, had a child and opened a beauty salon. But U.S. Marshals, aided by the Detroit Fugitive Apprehension Team, tracked her down and arrested her without incident.
Hatcher is in a Tennessee prison and will be brought back to Michigan .
