Two jail escapees from southern Missouri were caught Tuesday morning just east of Texarkana.
Matthew Miller, 22, of Eagle Rock, Mo., and Keith Davis, 24, of Anderson, Mo., escaped from the McDonald County jail in Pineville, Mo., on Sunday.
The two are suspected of leaving Missouri in a van found Monday at a car dealership in Springdale. A vehicle and two motorcycles reported stolen in Springdale were found with the men in Bowie County, Texas, according to the Springdale Police Department. The men are suspects in the thefts.
Bowie County Sheriff James Prince told the Texarkana Gazette his deputies caught the two about 11 a.m. Tuesday.
Miller and Davis, 24, were wanted in connection with escape, theft and assault, according to a statement from McDonald County Sheriff Michael Hall.
Hall had described the escapees as "dangerous."
Miller was in the McDonald County jail charged with several felonies, including kidnapping and first-degree burglary, said Bill Dobbs, McDonald County prosecutor. Davis was charged with several felonies, including receiving stolen property, tampering with a motor vehicle and interfering or resisting arrest. Both men were also facing charges related to a previous attempt to escape.
Dobbs said as far as he knows the two men had no common ground prior to being in jail together.
They likely will go before a judge and have an opportunity to waive extradition, Dobbs said. If they don't waive extradition, Dobbs' office would apply for a governor's warrant for their arrest, detention and return. The latter is a longer process.
