Jail Escapee Returned After 12 Hours Near Burnet
Burnet County Jail inmate John Charles Pullen 33 walked out before breakfast but was recaptured about 10 miles east of Burnet the same day. Sheriff Wallace Riddell said the inside door lock failed to engage, allowing a makeshift tool with a stick and wire to lift the hasp. Pullen, held on auto theft charges since October 1976 on a $2,500 bond, was returned to jail after a ranch worker tipped off authorities, with the sheriff noting public reassurance after the capture.
