Repeat DUI offender captured after tipster foils his escape


Posted on Mar 26, 2009

An inmate performing sheriff’s office work detail at the Virginia Beach Convention Center escaped on Sunday, but was found when a tipster informed police that he was hiding in a local hotel.

 

James Andrew Harris III, 27, was convicted in November in the Virginia Beach Circuit Court.  His crimes include a third DUI in five years, driving on a revoked license, and eluding police.

 

He escaped around 9pm on Sunday night, and after police circulated his picture through the media a tip led to his capture.  He was found Tuesday evening at an oceanfront hotel.  Harris now faces a felony escape charge.
