annie. >> reporter: hey, good morning to you allison and steve. that's right, after a nearly week long search it finally ended late last night. this morning we are told that 28-year-old david watson is in custody with howard county police and it was all thanks to a crucial tip that police received wednesday morning that led to the arrest. if you look behind me the clifton t. perkins psychiatric hospital is located in an area that's filled with industrial buildings, thick forest and the local worker who called 911 after seeing a man who he believed to be watson was spotted not far from here. this is where he escaped from police custody last friday but the caller reported seeing him running not far from here near railroad tracks and after an all day search, watson was finally found hiding near the hospital in a wooded area off of dorsey run road just a few hundred yards from where the tipster spotted him. we have learned that where watson was found was in an area that police and k-9 units and the fbi had previously checked. but around 9:40 the howard county police tactical team found watson hiding in a small drainage pipe about 18-inches in size and even though that pipe was searched earlier in the day officers used night vision equipment and rechecked that area and found him laying inside this pipe. they also found packing materials inside the same tunnel and police say watson surrendered and he was taken into custody in good condition. now, we're told when he was found he was wearing a white hard hat and safety vest and police say those were stolen from a nearby storage building. he is currently serving a sentence of over 100 years for attempted murder in delaware and at the same time faces additional charges for attempted murder of police officers and that is why he was being brought here to the perkins hospital where he was due to that undergo a psychiatric evaluation. again, this morning he is in the custody of howard county police and later this morning at 9:30 in just a few hours, they're goi going to be holdinga press briefing where we hope to learn further details about how he was discovered. that's the maryland, annie yu fox5 local news.

posted bond in case so he has been released from police custody. his bond was set at just $2,000, so a lot of people perhaps raising their eyebrows they're not sure why the bond was set so low. there
