Nasir Grant, 24, was taken into custody by federal agents on Dauphin Street in Strawberry Mansion around 10 p.m. Thursday night.
Grant and 18-year-old Ameen Hurst sprung themselves free from the Philadelphia Industrial Correctional Center around 8:30 p.m. Sunday night, investigators said. Prisons Commissioner Blanche Carney told reporters the duo missed three headcounts before prison guards realized they were missing Monday afternoon.
Sources tell FOX 29 holding cell doors and a door to an outside recreation yard were left opened. The prison guard union claims that perimeter posts that's been left unmanned for months due to budget cuts may have aided Hurst and Grant's escape, while the city said it "categorically denies" those claims.
The hole that Hurst and Grant used to escape was cut with an unknown tool, according to Commissioner Carney, and the fence that was compromised was not equipped with an alarm that would have notified prison guards about a possible escape.of 21-year-old Xianni Stalling. Investigators say a recorded jail phone call from one of the men helped investigators make the connection to Stalling.
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said Starlling has been charged with criminal conspiracy, hindering apprehension, escape and use of a communication facility. Krasner's office requested Starlling be held on $2M bail, but a Philadelphia judge set her bail at $500k.
