Joint Effort Pays Off


After a week of intensive searching for Abel Morin, U.S. Marshals, Texas Rangers and Sheriff's Deputies from the Duval Co. Sheriff's Office feel a sense of relief.

They say a tip sent officers to a house in Morin's hometown of San Diego, Texas and at midnight on Feb. 13, 2008 the fugitive stepped out, not knowing officers were waiting for him.

The arrest comes a week after Morin escaped from Jim Hogg County Jail through an unlocked door.
