Fugitive Still on the Loose After Brazen Escape in Latham

April 19, 2007 10:04 AM PDT

Local authorities are looking for a fugitive who is still on the loose today.

An illegal immigrant facing deportation kicked out a window from the jail van he was in yesterday, and escaped.

Colonie Police say 38-year-old Carlos Herrera was picked up from the Schenectady County Jail by U.S. Immigration officers who were taking him to the Bank of America in Latham, where he was supposed to be meeting with family members. Police say Herrera sprinted from the parking lot at about 2:30pm, then flagged down a driver along Latham Circle for a ride.

"It was just a citizen that happened to be traveling west, (who) was flagged down by the individual that we were looking for, and provided that individual with a ride," says Colonie Police Detective Sergeant Kenneth Fuchs.

Police say the driver had no idea he was giving a ride to a fugitive, as Herrera was dressed casually and acted normal.

Is this a new requirement of immigration to haul illegals around so they can meet up with their realitives?

An illegal immigrant who broke out of a van while being transported from the Schenectady County jail last month has now been caught.
Back in April, Carlos Alberto Herrera kicked out a window and ran to the Latham Circle Mall, where he hitched a ride in another van. He was in the process of being deported when he escaped.
Monday night, authorities tracked herrera down in Suffolk County.
