once he is out of the danger zone then they will effectively begin to question him within the confines of the hospital room. deborah, stay with me. i do want to go to tom fuentes, former police officer himself and talk about this. as i do i think everyone s thanks to law enforcement, these 1,200 officers who have spent weeks on end hunting down this man and richard matt putting their own lives at risk, frankly, to go after these two individuals. now, they have taken david sweat alive. tom, just your reaction to him and frankly, what he is wearing. clearly not prison gash. it s pretty clear that the number of cabins that they probably broke into they found enough clothing boots underwear, possibly food and water to sustain them somewhat. and then they would obtain the bug bites and other effects of being outside when they moved from one location to another.
opened fire. they were all in that area. david sweat taken about 3 miles from the canadian border. he s being treated at a local hospital in that area. unclear what his condition is. he was gaunt. it appeared he was carrying what appears to be some sort of knife holster on his waist. we re being told he was not armed, certainly was not armed with a firearm it appears. he was caught a significant distance from where the fugitive richard matt was shot and killed just friday. so over the course of 48 hours, we know that he was able to make it from malone, new york, all the way to constable, new york. that means he covered about 20 miles. we re told also that he was walking a trail between two they call it a fire break. what they do is make these roads in between the woods so that if there is a fire, they can better
camouflage. quickly realized two miles south of the canadian border this, this is the man that 1,200 plus officers have been hunting for night and day. this happening just about 48 hours to the minute since his fellow convicted murderer richard matt was shot and killed. remember richard matt was armed. we also learned from and sand ya field reporting that it does not look like david sweat was armed. we do know he s being treated at a local hospital. it does not appear that any officers were hurt in this takedown. but we are trying to confirm that with all of our sources. we ve got full team coverage on the ground. deborah, what have you learned? this happened a little bit after 3:30 this afternoon. law enforcement saw david sweat walking towards him, ordered him to stop. apparently did not and that s when the new york state trooper
state police tactical officers in heavy gear, military style gear in what appeared to be night vision goggles looking over some maps prepared to take on another aspect of this search. they need those rifles because they believe this convict, this escaped killer may be armed. we know that richard matt was carrying a shotgun when he was found in the woods a few miles here and shot and killed by a custom border patrol agent when he refused to comply with their or orders. there was more evidence recovered earlier this week but they haven t been able to link that yet to sweat. they are not sure the two are together when matt was killed yesterday but they believed that sweat is still contained in a
it is. everybody s in their cells. 100 years and this doesn t happen. they kind of get complacent and figure nothing s going to happen, they re all locked in. what is the allure? apparently matt s paintings. he wanted to paint and gave them to palmer and joyce mitchell. why did this value this stuff so much? i haven t seen it. is it any good? i don t know. is it any good? i don t know. should they be taking gifts from inmates? their do. i can t think of any rule that says they re not supposed to. i m sure there is. let s talk about the catwalk behind the cell. uh-huh. in the honor block, do inmates, were they allowed to go in the catwalk? again, they re not supposed to go. there are certain inmates if you re allowed to go, if you re part of the tech crew, you re part to go. matt and sweat weren t reported part of the tech crew. you re not supposed to but it happens. it s one of those rules that is there but don t really uphold it because sometimes they need them.
