    (FREMONT COUNTY, Colo.) — A second person has been arrested in connection to an escape from the Fremont County Jail on Friday, June 7.

    Escaped convict Kegan VanVliet was captured in Colorado Springs later on the same day as the escape, thanks in part to infrared technology utilized by the Colorado State Patrol as well as assistance from a K9 Officer with the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD). Before being found in Colorado Springs, VanVliet was last seen along U.S. Highway 50 at Justice Center Road in Cañon City.
