Leon Taylor, a murder defendant who escaped from custody in Indiana while being transported to Texas, was arrested in East Chicago last week after a brief foot chase. Lake County Sheriff Oscar Martinez Jr. said Taylor was arrested in the 4900 block of Indianapolis Boulevard at about 8:40 a.m. on Wednesday, December 30.
