Connecticu­t inmate captured after hunt

-

Upset about a breakup with his girlfriend, officials say Luis Clarke scaled a razor-wire fence at Cheshire Correction­al Institutio­n Wednesday night before stealing a pizza delivery car nearby in a brazen hours-long escape.

A fugitive investigat­ions team tracked Clarke, who suffered multiple cuts from the fence, to Meriden about three hours after the escape, when he tried to get into an Uber car he ordered through the delivery driver’s phone, Department of Correction commission­er Scott Semple said.
