Capture of escaped inmate linked to Whitmire assault
A man believed to be Jay May, who escaped from Elkhart jail on February 4, was arrested in Marion Ohio on suspicion.

Supt Silvers seeks requisition papers to return May to Elkhart. The case involves prior trials and long legal wrangling with multiple lawyers and court actions.
