UPDATE: The former corrections officer has died from self-inflicted injuries after she and fugitive prisoner Casey White were arrested. 9News
Officials announced at 6pm local time the pair had been taken into custody after a chase in Evansville, Indiana, which ended in the vehicle the pair were travelling in being hit by a police car and rolling.
Before the chase ensued, officers spotted Vicky White exiting a hotel with a wig on, according to US Marshal Matt Keely.Authorities continued to watch the pair until a police chase began, ending when a US Marshals task force member drove a vehicle into the Cadillac Vicky White was driving.Officers were able to remove the inmate from the wrecked car, but Vicky White was pinned inside with head injuries, Keely said.Keely said to their knowledge Casey White and Vicky White are not married.
Singleton said the Whites, who are not related but believed to be in a romantic relationship, will be brought back to Alabama.Vicky White, 56, was first charged with permitting or facilitating escape in the first degree and now also faces forgery and identity theft charges."He will stay in handcuffs and shackles while he's in that cell and if he wants to sue me for violating his civil rights, so be it.
Investigators had been notified that a 2006 Ford F-150 had been discovered at a car wash in Evansville, 281km north of Williamson County, Tennessee, where the 2007 Ford Edge the pair had been traveling in was found abandoned.Marshals in Indiana said they were then "following up on a tip after a vehicle believed to have been used by the two fugitives from Alabama was found abandoned in the area".
The allegations stem from her using an alias to purchase the vehicle used in the escape, a 2007 Ford Edge, officials said.Vicky White, who was an assistant director of corrections for Lauderdale County, took Casey White from the county jail on April 29, saying she was taking him for a mental health evaluation, which authorities learned later had never been scheduled.
Investigators found footage of White shopping for men's clothes at a department store and at an "adult store," Singleton said, adding she "obviously had a change of clothes" for the inmate."Obviously she well-planned this escape down to a T." She had an active arrest warrant for allegedly permitting or facilitating escape in the first degree.
