The corrections officer and inmate who escaped from an Alabama prison and evaded police for more than a week have been taken into custody, officials said Monday.
Former corrections officer Vicky White, 56, and inmate Casey White, 38, were arrested after a police chase and subsequent car wreck in Evansville, Indiana, Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton said Monday.
"We got a dangerous man off the street today," Singleton said. "He’s never going to see the light of day again."
Casey White surrendered to police, and Vicky White was taken to the hospital to treat her injuries, Singleton said. According to Vanderburgh County Sheriff Dave Wedding, Vicky White shot herself after the chase and suffered serious injuries.
The Whites, who are not related, disappeared from the Lauderdale County Detention Center on April 29, and authorities have since said the couple had a "jailhouse romance" and were planning their escape.
