Second escaped Oregon coast prison inmate captured
Two inmates who escaped Sunday morning from the minimum-security Shutter Creek Correctional Institution in North Bend by apparently scaling a fence were recaptured Monday, the state Department of Corrections reported.
Police arrested Daniel Oliver Fullmer near Lakeside around 1:30 a.m. Monday, and arrested Harlan Earl Brown around 10:30 a.m. near Coos Bay.
Oregon State Police, Coos County County Sheriff’s Office, and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Unit had been involved in the search for the pair.
SCCI staff discovered inmates Fullmer and Brown missing around 7:45 a.m. Sunday after they did not check in for scheduled medical appointments.
Staff found footprints near a section of the facility’s boundary fence, indicating the two inmates escaped over the fence.
Brown is a 44-year-old white male, 5 feet 8 inches tall, 185 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. Fullmer is a 39-year-old white male, 5 feet 8 inches tall, 165 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.
Brown entered DOC custody on Aug. 8, 2014, on two counts of burglary in the second degree and three counts of theft in the first degree out of Clackamas County. His earliest release date was Nov. 9, 2016.
Fullmer entered DOC custody on Oct. 16, 2014, on one count of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and one count of possession of methamphetamine out of Jackson County. His earliest release date was March 22 , 2016.
Shutter Creek is a minimum-security prison in North Bend that houses approximately 286 male inmates who are within four years of release.
SCCI serves as a transition and re-entry facility and is focused on cognitive programming, work programs, and preparing inmates for return to the community.
Inmates work on the institution site in the physical plant, kitchen and dining hall, warehouse, receiving and discharge, laundry, and prison grounds. Inmates also work on outside crews, primarily with the Department of Forestry, providing services throughout the year as trained wildland firefighters.
Originally an Air National Guard radar station, the facility was converted into a prison in 1990.
