State jail escapees captured after Conroe pursuit
Two inmates escaped Bartlett State Jail and were captured near Conroe after a pursuit that ended when troopers shot out the tires of their stolen truck and rammed it. David Lee Sanders and Kyndall Dwight Jones, both serving aggravated assault sentences, fled Bartlett jail early Sunday. They had stolen a pickup at Buchanan Dam in Llano County and led multiple agencies on Highway 105 before being detained and taken for medical checks. They were to be arraigned and housed at Byrd Diagnostic Unit in Huntsville. A missing cutting tool from the maintenance shop enabled the escape.
