AKRON, Ohio (WJW) — An escaped inmate was taken back into custody Wednesday morning after he was recognized attempting to order a hamburger. Jason Lyle Conrad — who'd been on the run since Tuesday morning after escaping from a transport vehicle transfer — was captured by authorities Wednesday morning following a short foot chase in Akron, Ohio, the U.S. Marshal for the Northern District of Ohio reported. The 39-year-old is now back at Summit County Jail, but it was a tip from McDonald's employees that led to his capture.
