Central Booking escapee has been captured

The man who escaped from a Baltimore jail last week has been captured in western Pennsylvania, a state official said.

The U.S. Marshals Service took Maury Figueroa, 29, into custody without incident, said Mark A. Vernarelli, a spokesman for the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services, in a Friday statement.
