Chapel Hill escapee caught

CHAPEL HILL It said an individual who knew Roderick Baldwin recognized him and contacted the prison. The Division of Prisons' Fugitive Squad picked him up without incident at 3:12 p.m. and returned him to Orange Correctional Center

Baldwin, 45, had fled Saturday night from a work release job at a Chapel Hill bagel shop after stealing a truck and some cash. The van was recovered Monday morning at a truck stop on Interstate 40 near the border of Alamance and Orange counties.

Serving two consecutive 5-year, 10-month sentences as a habitual felon, Baldwin had been scheduled for release from prison in June 2011.
