{{Police say one of two bank robbers have been arrested after the pair’s brazen escape from a high-rise federal jail in downtown Chicago sparked a dayslong manhunt.}}<\/p>\n
FBI spokeswoman Joan Hyde says Joseph Banks was captured late Thursday.<\/p>\n
Banks fled the Metropolitan Correctional Center early Tuesday with Kenneth Conley by apparently smashing a hole in a wall at the bottom of a narrow cell window and squeezing through, before scaling down about 20 stories using a knotted rope or bed sheets.<\/p>\n
Police helicopters and canine units swarmed the Chicago area, but not until hours after the men were last accounted for by correctional officers’ headcount. <\/p>\n
The search later spread beyond Chicago to the homes of anyone officers could find with ties to the men.<\/p>\n
Both men face hefty prison sentences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
