Authorities captured two escaped inmates Monday who somehow scaled the walls of Territorial Correctional Facility.
According to a press release from the Cañon City Police Department, George Roloff, 41, and Luke Tanner, 61, escaped from Territorial on Monday morning and attempted to elude officers.
The CCPD responded to Territorial at 10:30 a.m. after a report that the two men had escaped from the prison.
Authorities were able to locate Tanner, who attempted to run from officers, according to the press release. He was detained and transported to Fremont County Jail.
Roloff was later found and arrested at about noon and also was transported to the jail.
Tanner is serving time for robbery out of Denver County, contraband introduction in Lincoln County and escape and substance abuse in Fremont County.
Roloff is serving time for numerous menacing charges and extortion out of Mesa County.
In a press release, the Colorado Department of Corrections thanked local law enforcement for their “swift response and apprehension of these offenders.”
