One Fugitive - Off The Streets

TWIT is happy to report that fugitive Charles Thompson has been captured and is again behind bars. Thompson was nabbed last night after Shreveport police received a tip.  They found him drunk and talking on a pay phone outside of a Shreveport bar.  The police said he was too drunk to be interrogated, but he did tell them who he was.  The authorities also said that Thompson had a bicycle with him when he was arrested, but they don't believe he peddled the 200+ miles from Houston to Shreveport. 

I would have thought that Thompson would go down fighting when he was caught - he's on death row, so what does he have to lose?  I would expect him to have been shot and killed by dozens of federal agents and U.S. Marshalls, or something; you know, like in a scene from "Walker, Texas Ranger."  But instead his capture was like a bad scene from "Pee Wee's Big Adventure."
