Dec. 16 Two inmates who escaped from a Tennessee prison planned to steal a boat and flee the country, the Broward Sheriff s Office said.
Their plan, however, was thwarted by deputies who, with U.S. Marshals, took the fugitives into custody after a more than 10-hour search Sunday.
On Tuesday, BSO shared new details about the capture, which involved the use of K-9s and the department s aviation and marine units. This comes the same day the men waived their right to an extradition hearing, according to Miami Herald news partner CBS4.
