KANNAPOLIS, N.C. (WRAL) – Escaped murderer Ramone Alston was captured shortly before 2 a.m. Friday at a hotel on Cloverleaf Parkway in Kannapolis, where FBI Charlotte SWAT agents, Kannapolis police and Charlotte-Mecklenburg police arrested him.

Shortly thereafter, Jacobia Crisp was arrested in Alamance County and charged with felony aiding and abetting a fugitive. WRAL News is working to learn what relationship Alston had with Crisp.

Alston escaped Tuesday morning while authorities were taking him to the UNC Hospitals Hillsborough campus for treatment. Since then, hundreds of law enforcement and public safety officials were involved in the three-day search for him.
