Manitoba RCMP say a prisoner who escaped custody while heading to a court date in Winnipeg is back behind bars.
Pukatawagan RCMP asked for help tracking down 19-year-old Kelly Castel after they said he gave officers the slip while they handed him over to Manitoba Sheriffs at the Pukatawagan airport Sept 16.
They previously said the handcuffed prisoner had run off into nearby woods during the transfer.
Castel had been scheduled to appear in Winnipeg Provincial Court Sept. 20 on charges of robbery and failing to comply with probation.
Following the escape, an arrest warrant was also issued for Castel for being unlawfully at large.
Police say the Castel was located and arrested without incident Wednesday afternoon.
