A jail escapee was captured Wednesday after an hour-long foot pursuit up and down the Animas River Trail north of downtown Durango.<\/p>\n

The chase resulted in lockouts at Durango High School, St. Columba School and a day care center, said Cmdr. Ray Shupe, spokesman with the Durango Police Department. A reverse 911 call was made to some residents in north Durango, he said.<\/p>\n

Marty Kelly Yazzie, 30, is suspected of walking away from his work-release program sometime between noon and 12:15 p.m. Tuesday at the Durango\/La Plata Senior Center. La Plata County government notified the public of his escape Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Someone reported a man matching Yazzie\u2019s description at 7:56 a.m. Wednesday. The man was reportedly sitting on metal stairs leading up to Riverview Elementary School, 2900 Mesa Ave., Shupe said.<\/p>\n

A police officer tried to approach a man matching Yazzie\u2019s description, but the man took off running toward the Animas River Trail, Shupe said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat prompted the lockout at the high school,\u201d Shupe said.<\/p>\n

Yazzie was found about 9:15 a.m. hiding in bushes in someone\u2019s yard in the 100 block of Alamo Drive. He was arrested without incident, Shupe said.<\/p>\n
