Indiana Cops: Escapee On The Loose |
|
| |
They say you can't go home again, but according to cops, that's exactly what one recent prison escapee did.
Police say they've learned more details about the recent activities of fugitive Kelvin Fuller, who scaled the fence of the Westville Correctional Facility in Indiana last week. According to cops, Fuller returned to his hometown of Anderson, Indiana less than 24 hours after his escape and robbed a convenience store.
Fuller went on to commit several more crimes, according to cops, including a bank robbery. But authorities say they thought they might have him in their grasp as recently as Monday afternoon.
During a routine traffic stop, Delaware County cops say they pulled over a man who said his name was Duncan Fuller and who claimed to be Kelvin's brother. With a massive search underway for Kelvin, police say they weren't about to let "Duncan" go.
Police say they brought Fuller back to the sheriff's department, where he was kept until he could be identified. Sure enough, cops say, the man turned out to be Duncan Fuller -- although he's apparently Kelvin's cousin, not his brother. |

Escapee Responsible For Nearby Crimes |
|

On the morning of Wednesday, August 1, 2007, investigators say Kelvin Fuller broke through a building inside prison walls, scaled an exterior fence, and fled. Prison officials picked up on his absence during an emergency count of detainees at 9:50 that morning. Detectives say that he escaped sometime between 8 a.m. and the count at nearly 10 a.m.
Fuller was serving a sentence for armed robbery, arson, battery and criminal confinement convictions out of Madison County, Indiana. The arson and burglary charges were from a very high-profile April 1990 case. Fuller was convicted for starting a blaze that caused more than a half million dollars in damage at the office complex of famed gospel singer Sandi Patty.
State police investigators say that after his escape, Fuller went to a home near the prison and broke in. They say the home owner was running a vaccuum at the time and didn't even hear the invasion. Investigators say Fuller stole two sets of car keys. They say he fled the scene with a 2004, four-door, white Chevrolet Malibu.
Police describe the car as having a sunroof and say it has Indiana "In God We Trust" plates. The owner discovered the crime at around 11 a.m. and notified authorities.
Detectives say that Fuller drove the car to nearby Merrillville next. At 11:25 a.m., a female bus driver who had just dropped off a group of children in the parking lot of the Deep River Water Park was assaulted and robbed. She was injured so badly that she had to be treated at a nearby emergency room. Cops say it, too, was the work of Fuller. They say after stealing $40, Fuller fled the parking lot in the stolen Malibu heading westbound on U.S. Route 30.
The next day, on Thursday, August 2, someone walked in to a Fishers, Indiana bank with a tan long-sleeved shirt, khaki pants and a wide-brimmed hat and robbed it. Cops say it was Kelvin Fuller and they've even got him on surveillance at a nearby Target store purchasing the hat. Investigators say that Fuller made off with an undisclosed amount of money and they were no sightings of the getaway car. Police think he may still be in the white Chevy Malibu.
On surveillance, it appears that Fuller has a full, "salt and pepper" beard. Cops say the clothes match the description of Fuller's prison uniform. |

Indiana To Alabama? |
|
| |
The Indiana Department of Corrections, Indiana State Police and the U.S. Marshals are working together to get Fuller back into custody. They think Fuller could return to his previous hometown of Anderson, Indiana or seek out his mother who has recently moved to Montgomery, Alabama.
Investigators say he should be considered very dangerous. |
